As the feud between Jake Paul‘s Most Valuable Promotions and the Ultimate Fighting Championship continues, so does his ban from WWE events.
While appearing on Undefeated & Undisputed, Jake Paul revealed that TKO Group Holdings — the parent company of UFC and WWE — has prohibited him from attending shows in which his brother Logan Paul wrestles. According to Jake, this comes as a direct result of the beef between MVP and UFC, both of which host MMA competition.
“I don’t take any beefs too serious,” Jake when asked if he’s enjoyed the rivalry between the promotions. “I think it’s definitely in the name of entertainment. However, there is truth in it and there are points and some certain facts that I would like to see pushed through. Like the UFC fighter minimum pay being $12,000, that needs a rise. There is all these like things in it that are serious. But from my side, I’m just having fun and the fact that the one of the biggest organizations in the world, the TKO group has this major beef with me. They won’t even let me go be in my brother’s WWE matches because they hate me so much. So it’s pretty wild how much under their skin we are.
“To me, it’s just been a fun journey. I enjoy s*** talk,” he continued. “Like when people make fun of me. I’m easy to make fun of. I’m able to make fun of myself. So the beef, to me, is just fun and entertaining for everybody.”
This weekend, MVP will host an MMA event from Los Angeles, with former WWE star Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano as one of its marquee bouts. Meanwhile, Logan Paul currently serves as one the WWE World Tag Team Champions alongside Austin Theory.
