Jake Paul reignites Dana White feud, says he’s holding Conor McGregor ‘hostage’

Jake Paul is taking all the victory laps.

One of his biggest factors was against Dana White.

Paul and the UFC CEO have long been at odds, and their feud reignited after Paul defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in a highly anticipated bout Friday night at AT&T Stadium.
