‘Suck this d***’ – Jake Paul savagely attacks Dana White over 2021 ‘promise’ after beating UFC icon Anderson Silva
JAKE PAUL taunted Dana White after beating Anderson Silva last night, saying "suck this d***".
The Problem Child was euphoric after overcoming Silva, 47, via unanimous decision.
Paul's win moved him to 6-0 and was by far his most credible to date.
Taking to the mic after the bout, the American opted to continue his long-running feud with UFC president Dana White.
Last year, the American begged Paul to stop calling out fighters on his roster, before declaring: "I f***ing guarantee you this: You ain’t gonna see Jake Paul calling Anderson Silva out.
"That I f***ing promise you."

Reminding White of his comments, Paul, 25, mocked: "Dana? … Dana? … Dana?
"Bro, you said I wouldn’t do this, and I did it – with flying colours. But, you know, he’s in hiding.
"He’s trying to do everything he can to stop my run, to sabotage my fights. He hates me. He hates what I’m doing.
"He hates (that) I’m exposing his business, and now we’re gonna band together and create a united fighters’ association to help UFC fighters, all MMA fighters and boxers to get more fighter pay, long-term health care.

"That’s a big, big undertaking that I’ve been wanting to do for the whole entire time of my career since I met (manager) Nakisa (Bidarian).
"I said it to him on the first day: I want to make a fighters’ union.
"So, man, Dana White can suck this d***."
After flooring Silva in the eighth round, Paul explained: "We were just fighting in the clinch and he got caught on the way out.
"He took so many hard shots throughout the whole fight. The dude is a real dog.
'I'M A REAL DOG'
"You see what happens to everyone else that gets hit with that. He’s the toughest guy in the world but I just wanted it more.
"I’m a real dog and I left it all in the ring."
Paul could face UFC legend Nate Diaz next, after the Stockton legend's contract with White's promotion expired.
As reported by Ariel Helwani, members of Diaz and Paul's teams BRAWLED backstage last night.
Helwani tweeted: "To follow up on what Jake said in there, when I was in the back I saw the Diaz team and the Paul team get into it.
