Jake Paul business partner reiterates Hasim Rahman Jr. cancellation, claps back at Dana White

The social media drama over the cancellation of Jake Paul’s next fight continues.

After UFC president Dana White jabbed at Nakisa Bidarian, Paul’s business partner and a former accountant with the UFC, this past Saturday after UFC 277, Bidarian posted on Instagram on Tuesday to respond.

To not bury the lead, White suggested Paul get different people around his inner circle and said just because Bidarian was an accountant with the UFC, it didn’t mean he knew how things worked. White also said he thought the cancellation of Paul’s fight with Hasim Rahman Jr. was about lackluster ticket sales and not Rahman’s inability to make the contracted weight, which is what Paul’s side claimed Saturday when the fight, and entire event planned for this week at Madison Square Garden in New York, was scrapped.
