Jake Paul blasts “s***bag” Dana White for $250,000 gift to YouTuber pal

Jake Paul has again blasted UFC president Dana White as their bitter feud continues, branding the MMA boss a "s***bag" for gifting a pal $250,000 in cash.

Controversy was raised when White was seen giving Kyle Forgeard, the leader of popular YouTube prank group Nelk, the quarter-of-a-million dollar cash gift in a massive bag earlier this week. Fans and fighters were outraged that the social media star, whose net worth is already well in the millions, was gifted an amount bigger than the UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo's last purse.

Figueiredo reclaimed the 125lb strap after a gruelling trilogy with Brandon Moreno back in January, and was paid just $150,000 as a base, although he ended up taking home $200,000 due to his $50,000 fight of the night bonus. But White nonchalantly handed tens of thousands more than that to his YouTuber friend at a plush meal.
