Jake Paul urges Dana White to release Conor McGregor from UFC contract

Jake Paul has called on UFC president Dana White to "free" Conor McGregor from his UFC contract. This comes after Paul won a boxing match against Mike Tyson, a friend of White's, and criticized White's boxing promotion efforts. Paul accused White of being a "failed" boxing promoter and mocked his inability to sell tickets for a recent event featuring an Irish boxer. He claimed McGregor is a "hostage" under White's management, highlighting their ongoing feud. McGregor has not fought since 2021 and his return has been delayed, with White suggesting it may not happen until late 2025. Despite Paul's comments, it is unlikely White will release McGregor from his contract.
