Jake Paul has revealed the one reason why he cannot attend WWE events to watch his brother Logan in action.

In June 2022, it was announced that social media star Logan Paul had signed a multi-event contract after impressing in early guest appearances for the wrestling organisation.

The deal was initially met with some backlash, but Logan has gone on to become one of the biggest names in WWE, facing off against the likes of John Cena, Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

However, despite all of Logan's success, many fans have noticed that his younger brother Jake has been absent from any of the big matches.

And now, Jake has spoken out to reveal exactly why this is, claiming that it is due to the ongoing feud between his promotion Most Valuable Promotions and UFC.

Throughout Jake's venture into combat sports, the influencer has regularly come to blows with UFC president and CEO Dana White due to his outspoken public criticism of UFC practices, most notably to due with fighter pay.

Both the UFC and WWE are owned by parent company TKO Group Holdings and Jake has claimed that this relationship is what has stopped him from watching Logan compete.

"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," he claimed on on Undefeated & Undisputed.

"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 organisations 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."

Addressing the rivalry directly, he added " To me, it's just been a fun journey. I enjoy s*** talk. 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,"

Paul's comments come just days before MVP host their first MMA event as UFC legends Ronda Rousey and Gina Caranao headline a card at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, with the likes of Nate Diaz, Mike Perry and Francis Ngannou fighting on the undercard.
