Jake Paul has backed up ex-UFC star Brendan Schaub after he recently waded into a row with Dana White.
Schaub, once a top-ranked heavyweight who spent five years in the UFC, believes a conspiracy theory that Khamzat Chimaev's weight miss for his scheduled bout with Nate Diaz at UFC 270 was planned. Schaub thinks Tony Ferguson replaced Chimaev in the main event to fight Diaz as the card was struggling to sell pay-per-view buys.
UFC boss White falsely believed the conspiracy theory was shared by another former fighter in Pat Miletich, who also shared the theory. White went on a X-rated rant when being asked by reporters about his thoughts on the conspiracy theory, before stating "that makes sense" when informed it was Schaub who made the comments.
