Dana White Laughs off Jake Paul, MVP MMA as Competition After PFL Merger
UFC president Dana White is not concerned in the slightest about the MVP-PFL merger or Jake Paul's obsession with ruining him.
During an interview on "The Mac Life," UFC president Dana White dismissed Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) MMA and the subsequent merger with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) as inconsequential competition. White reiterated his claim, stating that he does not perceive Paul's new MMA company as a threat to the UFC's dominance.
He expressed his desire for all companies involved in the MMA world to succeed. The UFC has faced similar competition from organizations like Strikeforce and Bellator in the past, with both of these companies boasting a roster of notable fighters. Although MVP's initial MMA card featured some high-profile names such as Ronda Rousey, Gina Carano, Francis Ngannou, Nate Diaz, and Mike Perry, the company's current roster lacks the star power necessary to pose a significant threat to the UFC.
White also acknowledged the possibility of merging with another organization if their existing ventures were not generating adequate sales or viewership.
