Dana White has denied that Jake Paul is a "thorn in his side" despite the pair having a very public rivalry.
UFC president White and Paul have been going back-and-forth in the media over recent months, with the YouTube star demanding that fighters in the promotion are paid better for their involvement.
And White has now said that despite making a number of abusive comments towards Paul and his manager Nakisa Bidarian that he doesn't hate the social media sensation, and appreciates that he is attempting to make money in his combat sports career.
