Jake Paul took aim at UFC CEO Dana White, saying White should have put Jon Jones on the card for the planned White House event.

Jake Paul blasted UFC CEO Dana White, arguing that White made a major mistake by leaving Jon Jones off the planned White House fight card.

“White isn’t smart enough. Just look at what he’s doing. You’re not putting Jon Jones on the White House card? Why don’t you want to pay Jon Jones? They’ve become greedy and forgotten their principles as a company.

“This sport is dying because the best fighters turn into wrestlers and just hold their opponents. Look at Khabib Nurmagomedov, Khamzat Chimaev. It’s boring. Nobody wants to watch that,” Paul said, according to BJ Penn.
