“Congrats Paradigm Sports Management Agency! Number 1 and 2 highest paid on the UFC roster contractually. Myself and Izzy. An excellent feather in the cap of an amazing sports agency. @ParadigmSports! Congrats to all my team and a big congrats last night Israel.”
It was announced earlier last week that Adesanya had signed a very lucrative multi-fight contract with the UFC.
Jake Paul responding on Twitter to Conor McGregors’ tweet said:
“Indeed well deserved for Izzy but unfortunately Tyson Fury still makes more than both of you combined for fighting. Conor when you gonna start playing your part to get ALL fighters better pay and healthcare?”

Tyson Fury, 33, is a British professional boxer and a two-time world heavyweight champion.
Jake Paul, 24, is making better pay and healthcare for fighters in the UFC his number one concern these days. Paul has called out Dana White and the UFC and gone so far as to say he wants to start a fighters union.
Pauls’ diss track on YouTube aimed at UFC President Dana White became a huge hit with over two million views in three days. Paul claims several UFC fighters are supporting his actions privately.
“Yes, there are a lot of fighters, a lot of big fighters in the UFC message me saying, ‘We love this, keep on going but I can’t support this publicly,’” Paul said speaking on ‘The MMA Hour’. “I don’t want them to sacrifice. They have to put food on their family’s table.”
“I don’t need them to support a diss track or anything like that, publicly. Because they’re just gonna f**k themselves over. I don’t want that. I want them to make more money.”
Dana White and Jake Paul
In his latest move, ‘The Problem Child’ has said he’s investing in the UFC’s parent company, The Endeavor Group, in an attempt to help fighters get better pay and healthcare.
“I’ve invested in EDR (UFC) stock with my partner Geoffrey Woo to focus on UFC’s ESG standards relating to fighters,” Jake Paul tweeted on January 25. “We believe EDR can drive long-term economic value by increasing UFC fighter pay & providing them healthcare. Reaching out to @EngineNo_1 to partner on this endeavor.”
