YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul went out for Halloween dressed as UFC president Dana White, mocking White in the process. Paul and White do not like each other, that much you can say. Paul has been on a crusade to improve fighter pay in combat sports, particularly in the UFC, while White has come out and said that Paul should mind his own business and stay out of the UFC’s finances. Paul has continued to try and take shots at White, who mostly ignores Paul when he does speak. On Saturday, Paul took to his social media to take another shot at White, this time mocking the UFC president by dressing up as him for Halloween. Take a look at the costume below.
