Showing up for a spot on “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson”, the UFC President talked about the fight and weighed in on Jake Paul's chances against Ben Askren:

"I hope you can bet on this thing, cause I’ll bet a million dollars that he loses this f*cking fight. Bet a million dollars that he loses this fight. I hope we can bet on this.”

Jake Paul then posted a reaction to his Instagram account where he wants to double the money to 2 million dollars.

Snoop Dogg has since come out in full support of Jake Paul. He has also petitioned for UFC President Dana White to up his bet to 2 Million dollars, a number that he is willing to match:

"Hey, Dana White, I see you got faith in your boy right (Ben Askren) going up against my guy Jake, you say you got a million? You the CEO of UFC man you got more than that put up 2. Put up 2 and we'll match it"
