Dana White, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), holds contrasting views on the Paul brothers. Traditionally, White has been less than complimentary about Jake Paul, even instructing the media not to inquire about him during post-fight press conferences.
Nevertheless, Paul has continued his successful streak in mixed martial arts (MMA) competition, achieving a unanimous decision victory over Nate Diaz this past weekend.

Paul’s victory marked his fifth win against former UFC stars, making his overall boxing record an impressive 7-1. After this bout, White had no negative remarks to share about either Diaz or Paul.
“I don’t f—king hate Jake Paul,” White said on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. “Jake Paul is one of those guys that — he’s a young kid and he’s just trying to get attention. He’s always looking for attention and he’s doing his thing. Whatever. It’s all good.
“The brother (Logan) is f—king brilliant,” he added. “The brother is f—king raking in big dough. Logan Paul is a businessman. This kid is really making some big moves, and KSI (Olajide Olatunji) too. Those kids are making real money and doing their thing.”
Earlier in 2023, Logan Paul and KSI established a partnership with UFC, allowing Paul’s Prime hydration drink to become a sponsor for the promotion. While Logan Paul has shifted more of his focus to professional wrestling, joining World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in recent years, he is set to make a return to the boxing ring.
His scheduled match against Dillon Danis in Manchester, England on October 14, 2023, marks his first boxing bout since his June 2021 exhibition with Floyd Mayweather Jr., which ended in a no-decision.
