UFC president Dana White has admitted he is "intrigued" by the prospect of Jake Paul fighting in the UFC and has refused to rule out a move.
Paul has made a successful start to his professional boxing career, winning his first five fights and is eyeing a future switch to MMA. He previously made an offer to White to fight Conor McGregor in the UFC in exchange for a review of fighter pay and healthcare in the promotion.
White believes Paul wants to fight in the UFC for the money despite his heavy criticism of the fighter pay structure in the promotion. “At the end of the day, the kid wants to fight here," White said on the Pivot Podcast. "He doesn’t want to fight here because he doesn’t believe we pay guys. He wants to fight here because this is where the money is, regardless of what he says.
