When invited to attend his next fight, Jake Paul told UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya that he had been banned from all UFC Events by Dana White.

I'm banned from UFC events. I can't come. Dana [White] banned me after [the fans] were yelling 'F*** Jake Paul' in the stadium, and then I tried to go to a different fight, and all of our tickets were declined, banned. His assistant was like 'Get the f*** out of here! Get the f*** out of here!' and escorted me out at the event.
- Jake Paul details how he got banned from UFC events on his podcast.

Jake Paul and Dana White have long been at odds with each other. Jake constantly taunts the UFC president and critiques his business practices regarding healthcare and fighter pay. White has shot down all accusations sent his way and now refuses to even mention Paul's name.

Jake Paul is fighting UFC legend Anderson Silva in a pro boxing bout today. He already holds multiple wins over a UFC champion, having defeated former Welterweight king Tyron Woodley twice. Many fans view this fight as a true test of his skills and will be watching closely to see what the former high school wrestler and YouTube star is made of.

Perhaps one day the feud will end, but for now, we're unlikely to see Paul attending any UFC events.
