Cejudo spoke about Paul's continued efforts to push for better fighter pay in the UFC. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has addressed the issue multiple times and has also thrown around different suggestions at the UFC to facilitate the same. Cejudo appreciated 'The Problem Child' in an interview with 'The Schmo' and labeled him taking on Dana White as gutsy: "I actually like Jake Paul. I really do. For what he's doing and what he's talking about for MMA and, you know, picking on our boss [Dana White]. I mean, things like that, those are good things. And I can tell what he's trying to do, and he's trying to accomplish. So I'm a fan officially of Jake Paul, there you go, I said it guys." 'Triple C' also stated that he was "officially" a fan of Paul despite the general consensus towards him from MMA fans. Watch Cejudo on The Triple C & Schmo Show on YouTube: Ahead of Jake Paul's big boxing match against UFC legend , Paul made a selfless bet with his opponent. In their final press conference before the fight, Paul offered to fight Silva in a kickboxing match if he lost the boxing bout. However, if Paul wins, the two would come together to form a fighters union that would advocate for better fight pay and enable them to leverage collectively against the UFC: “I have a bet for you Anderson – it’s a good one. If you win, I’ll give you something you probably want. If you win, I will fight you in an MMA fight- okay, kickboxing. But if I win, me and you come together to create a united fighters’ association to help UFC fighters get better pay and better healthcare. You become the interim president, and we unite to help these fighters once and for all.” Silva agreed on the condition that the union extends towards all MMA fighters and not just those on the UFC roster.

Jake Paul claims Dana White attempted to sabotage his fight against Anderson Silva

Jake Paul and Dana White's ongoing feud also extended towards Paul's upcoming match against former UFC fighter Anderson Silva. Paul made bold claims about White's attempts to sabotage his next fight, in a sit-down with Ariel Helwani and his opponent. "This guy Dana and the UFC were sending me cease and desist letters this whole entire week to take down YouTube videos where we had highlights of Anderson in the UFC in the video, which is all over the internet, right? But their lawyers send us a cease and desist. He's doing anything he can to try and mess us up on this fight week and it's clear that he has some sort of vendetta against me and maybe you [Silva] as well." Dana White hasn't responded to Jake Paul, but he may be forced into a response if Paul and Silva band together to advocate for fighters' rights.
