JAKE PAUL blasted Dana White as an “insecure little boy” after the UFC boss dropped a huge Conor McGregor announcement during Francis Ngannou’s walkout. Fans tuning into Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions’ MMA debut event were left stunned when news broke that McGregor would return to face Max Holloway in a blockbuster rematch. White revealed the fight live on his social media account at the exact moment Ngannou was making his cage walk for the main event. The timing immediately raised eyebrows given White and Ngannou’s bitter feud ever since the former heavyweight champion left the UFC back in 2023. Paul quickly reacted backstage and aimed a dig at McGregor and the UFC. He said: “The coke head is back. Nice, yeah that’s cool bro, cool yeah.” The YouTuber-turned-boxer then accused White of trying to hijack attention away from MVP’s first MMA card. Paul added: “Drop it during our event, doesn’t matter.” “That just shows how pressed they are.” “Little insecure boys trying to piggyback off our event and try to put some news over top of us.” BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK Despite the drama surrounding the announcement, Ngannou made sure the spotlight quickly returned to the cage.
