JORGE MASVIDAL has accused Jake Paul of hypocrisy amid his row with UFC president Dana White over fighter pay.
Paul has campaigned against White to boost the minimum pay of UFC stars, revenue split and to add a healthcare system.

But current UFC welterweight Masvidal has defended White and accused the YouTuber-turned boxer of underpaying fighters on his cards.
Masvidal, 37, has just announced a boxing card promoted by himself and took a swipe at Paul, 26, in the process.
He said on The MMA Hour: “I put my money where my mouth is. This motherf***er Jake Paul be talking about he pays fighters.
“Shut the f*** up. When everybody sees what the f*** the card bill is, the whole card from top to bottom, I f***ing pay fighters.
“Me and my promotion pay fighters. My brothers and sisters so they can go earn a paycheck, kick ass and do what the f*** they do. All this other s*** is bulls*** and talk.”
Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr, 54, is set to headline a card promoted by Masvidal against ex-UFC champion Anthony Pettis, 36.
Meanwhile, Paul has headlined three events in his 6-0 career which have been co-promoted by his banner Most Valuable Promotions.
The American even paid all undercard fighters half of their purses when his August bout with Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, was cancelled.

But Masvidal has still accused Paul of only looking after himself as he defended his UFC boss White.
Masvidal said: “He’s always f***ing taking care of us and this doesn’t happen without Dana White and the UFC giving the permission so these guys can fight.
“When I hear somebody like Jake Paul talking s*** about my business partners, I’m like f*** this idiot, what the f*** have you done in this sport, but feed yourself?
“Shut the f*** up and now watch how the big boys do it.”
