Jake Paul vows to take on the UFC with his new MVP MMA organization.
On Saturday, Paul’s MVP MMA promotion launched following its Netflix-hosted Rousey/Carano fight card.
During the card, UFC’s Dana White announced Conor McGregor’s return in July during Francis Ngannou’s walkout, which many viewed as a direct shot at Paul’s MMA promotion.
Paul reacted to White’s announcement by trashing McGregor and the UFC.
“The Coke head is back. Drop it during our event doesn’t matter. That just shows how pressed they are, little insecure boys piggybacking off our event”

After Rousey’s 17-second win against Carano, Paul directly warned the UFC that MVP MMA was coming after them.
“You will definitely see more. We’re breaking records tonight. This is one of the most viewed MMA events in history and it’s all credit to these women, to Francis, to Mike, to Nate — they put it all on the line. And MVP is just getting warmed up in MMA and you’re going to see a lot of us. So White House, Dana White, all of you — be prepared because this is the takeover.”
