Jake Paul criticised for "soy boy" role in UFC fighter pay dispute

YouTube boxer Jake Paul has been slammed by UFC fighter Charles Jourdain over his efforts to improve fighter pay in the promotion.

Paul has been embroiled in a bitter feud with UFC president Dana White since last year, constantly challenging the 53-year-old to improve conditions for fighters under his banner. 'The Problem Child' recently announced the launch of his United Fighters Association, with UFC legend Anderson Silva agreeing to help him on his mission to provide MMA professionals with fairer contracts.

KSI's latest opponent, FaZe Temperrr, recently praised Paul's efforts whilst adding that UFC fighters are being "robbed" by the promotion. Jourdain was less than impressed with Temperrr's opinion and took to Twitter to write: "Keep sitting behind a computer and talk, martial arts are a way of life that soy boy [Paul] can't understand. We don't want you clowns to 'help' us. You guys are fake and make money of (sic.) being fake. Can't fake being a real UFC fighter."
