And he has also being angered by Paul calling for fights against various UFC stars – most notably Conor McGregor.

Paul has now tweeted: “Dana White pays his ring girls more than his fighters.”

But it could be a dig back from Paul after White previously said the social media star will never step foot in an octagon.

Paul, 24, is 3-0 as a professional boxer following TKO victories over AnEson Gib, Nate Robinson and former UFC welterweight Ben Askren.
