Jake Paul, currently ranked 14th in the WBA cruiserweight division, has criticized UFC leadership for supporting changes to the Muhammad Ali Act.
İdman.Biz reports that he claims the promotion is not adhering to its own "best vs. best" principle.
"They want to repeal the Ali Act because they claim they want to bring the best fighters to boxing... So why is every fan upset about the new UFC fights they are announcing? And of course, Harrison vs. Nunes should be the main event," Paul wrote on his social media account.
His criticism stems from UFC leadership's public support for changes to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act—a federal law requiring contract transparency, rating oversight, and financial disclosure in boxing. The proposed revival efforts target structural shifts in combat sports, including promotion consolidation and regulatory changes.
If the changes to the Ali Act take effect, boxers may face less protection from regulators, raising concerns about wage transparency and promotional control. Critics fear this could lead to difficulties similar to those seen in MMA, where fighters are often underpaid, according to many fans and fighters.
