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

Jake Paul recently sat down for a face-to-face interaction with Anderson Silva. During the sit-down, 'The Problem Child' made a bold claim suggesting that the UFC and Dana White have been trying to sabotage his fight against 'The Spider'.

It is worth noting that Jake Paul has been in an ongoing feud with Dana White due to multiple issues. The 25-year-old Cleveland native has publicly criticized the UFC for their fighter pay and healthcare.

According to Jake Paul, the UFC have been trying to "mess up" his fight against Anderson Silva by sending him "cease and desist letters." Speaking about the same, 'The Problem Child' said:

"It's the shark at the top who, if he doesn't like you, he'll do anything he can to try and stop you... 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 [Anderson Silva] as well."
