YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul alleged that one of Dana White's sons directed racial slurs at him. Paul made the claim on his podcast, BS w/ Jake Paul, while hosting UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya on the episode.

Jake 'The Problem Child' Paul has been in a war of words with Dana White, championing the cause of fighter pay in the UFC. His appearance at UFC 261 added to the tension between the two.

At the event, Paul almost got into an altercation with Daniel Cormier, and the crowd chanted "f*** Jake Paul" inside the arena.

In the episode, Paul recalled being banned from attending UFC events when Adesanya invited him to his fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 281:

"Dana banned me. Dana banned me after they all were yelling ‘f*** Jake Paul’ in the stadium. Then I tried to go to a different fight and all of our tickets were declined, banned. Then his assistant was like, ‘Get the f*** outta here, get the f*** outta here!’ Like, escorted me out of the event."

He went on to claim that one of White's sons started verbally attacking him with racial slurs whilst drunk:

"And then Dana White’s son, apparently, I didn’t know who it was at the time, was like, ‘I f***in hate you!' He was, like, drunk off of some s***, wearing some suit, and he was like ‘F*** you!’ He was using racial slurs against me. And yeah, that was the last event. So I forgot, I can’t come.”

He then joked that he would turn up in disguise for the event and even try to get a selfie with Dana White.

While the UFC president has locked horns with Jake Paul, he seems to have a friendly relationship with the older Paul brother. He upgraded Logan Paul's seat at UFC 264 and even appeared on the Impaulsive podcast. White even said that he'd consider letting Logan Paul fight in the UFC.

Jake Paul thrashes Dana White and Nate Diaz after win over Anderson Silva

Following his win over Anderson Silva this past weekend, 'The Problem Child' called Nate Diaz out for his next fight, naming it the fight everyone wants to see.

The callout came after Diaz's altercation with Paul's team backstage at the event. Paul also addressed Dana White's disdain for him, saying:

"Dana, bro. You said I wouldn't do this. And, I did it with flying colors. He is in hiding. You know, he's trying to do everything he can to stop my run, to sabotage my fights. He hates me, he hates what I'm doing. He hates [that] I'm exposing his business."

He also said that he would start a "united fighters' association" with MMA athletes and boxers to help them get more pay and long-term healthcare.
