Jake Paul hails courage of UFC star for criticising "drug dealer" Dana White

Jake Paul has praised Tony Ferguson for speaking up about UFC fighter pay after he compared Dana White to a "drug dealer".

Ferguson looks to rebound from a three-fight losing skid this Saturday at UFC 274 when he faces Michael Chandler. 'El Cucuy' is known for being of the UFC's most eccentric characters and he vented his frustration at White for not allowing him to compete in other sports.

Whilst under contract with the UFC, fighters are unable to compete in other organisations. Fighter pay in the promotion has been a heavily debated topic in the past few years and Paul showed his support for Ferguson after he publicly criticised White.
