Jake Paul calls out UFC President Dana White for not making Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou
Nevertheless, Jake Paul has put the blame for the combat not taking place solely on Dana White. On the PFL press convention, ‘The Drawback Youngster’ hit out on the UFC President. In Paul’s eyes, there’s no purpose why the 2 firms couldn’t work to make Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou collectively.
“Properly I feel Dana’s scared to make it occur.” Jake Paul responded, when requested about Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou. “I feel Dana’s scared to lose his horse in Jon Jones. I like Jon Jones however that’s an excessive amount of of a threat for Dana to take. Francis is among the baddest, if not the baddest man on the planet. So, I feel Dana’s scared, I don’t assume he would need to try this.”
He continued, “However the MMA followers need that, don’t we wish that? However Dana doesn’t do something for the followers.”
