White slams Paul first
Dana White called out Jake Paul and Triller Fight Club at UFC 26.
The UFC president claimed that the YouTuber and the fight promotion lied about the pay-per-view numbers for Paul’s fight against Ben Askren earlier this month.
White said he didn't know if the numbers are there. "He ain't fighting in the UFC. He's getting hand-picked opponents, and God knows what else is going on with that whole f***ing thing," White said.
