Jake Paul is set to box UFC legend Anderson Silva this week. Ahead of the fight, Jake said that UFC President Dana White has been doing ‘shady’ things in an attempt to sabotage the fight.

On his weekly BS w/ Jake Paul show, Jake invited UFC fighter Israel Adesanya on as a guest. About 34 minutes into the show, they were discussing ‘fighter pay’ when the two discussed catching up in person. Then Jake Paul says ‘oh f–k, I’m banned from UFC events’ as if he’d somehow forgotten.

Jake Paul tells Israel Adesanya how he found out he was banned from UFC events

It’s at this point that Jake Paul reveals how he found out he was banned from UFC events in a bizarre series of heated exchanges. Here is the video with Jake’s comments below:

Jake Paul: “I’m banned from UFC events…”

Israel Adesanya: “Why? What’d you do? What’d you do…”

Jake Paul: “Dana (White) banned me. Dana banned me after they were all yelling “f–k Jake Paul” in the stadium and then I tried to go to a different fight and all of our tickets were declined. And then his (Dana White’s) assistant was like ‘get the f–k out of here, get the f–k out of here’ and then escorted me out of the event.

And then Dana White’s son, I didn’t know who it was at the time, he’s like “I f–king hate you.” He was like drunk off of some s–t, wearing some suit. And he was like ‘f–k you’ and he was using like racial slurs against me. And that was the last UFC event (for me). So yeah, I forgot I can’t come (to the UFC fight).”


They then joke about Jake Paul rolling up to the UFC after-party wearing a disguise of some sort. And how Jake could wear his ‘fat suit‘ to the party as a perfect disguise.

Jake Paul on why Conor McGregor Fight For $100 Million Likely Won’t Happen

Jake’s weekly YouTube show is pretty illuminating these days. Last week he discussed why he believes a fight against Conor McGregor for $100 million likely won’t happen:

Jake said:

“I don’t, unfortunately. Just because I think he will see what I do to Anderson and he will say ‘why would I make this kid $100 million and lose to him so he can make his name off of me.’ Who knows what that guy is doing? His career is coming to an end.”

Jake was pressed on what he means by ‘make his name off’ of him. And Paul added “I’m saying that he would make my name so much bigger if I beat him. He is A-side for sure and I would make less money in the fight, he would have the bigger percentage, but that’s speaking right now who knows what happens.”

The week before that, Jake invited NBA veteran Dwight Howard onto his show. Dwight revealed who he thought leaked the Draymond Green-Jordan Poole Punch Video:

Dwight said ‘it was like, damn, now everybody knows what’s going on in the house’ and added ‘I don’t think that part is cool that it got out there… whoever leaked it, that’s really messed up.’

Jake Paul chimed in with ‘isn’t there like some sort of intern that films every practice so that they can watch it back? It was definitely the intern, right?’ And that’s where Dwight Howard agreed saying ‘yeah, that’s true. But a lot of times you might not know who that intern is. I think they paid the intern a lot of money to get the video tape.’

So they’re in agreement that it was ‘the intern’ who leaked the video but they have to suss out who that intern was and how much they sold it for…

Dwight and Jake then discuss how much they think the video was sold for. Jake Paul heard it was sold for $50,000 and Dwight said he heard it was more than that. A former TMZ employee estimated they would’ve paid somewhere between $50K-$100K for it and ‘upwards of $150K’ based on how the company has operated in the past.

Howard makes a valid point that it would be wild for someone to give up their job in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors, the league’s premier team right now, for only $50,000 when it’s likely the person’s compensation is higher than that given wages in the Bay Area.
