Jake Paul doesn't think his knockout win over Tyron Woodley was a good look for the UFC.

The YouTube star sent a fiery message to UFC president Dana White after stopping Woodley, a former UFC welterweight champion, in the sixth round of their boxing rematch Saturday in Tampa, Florida.

"I just knocked out a five-time UFC champion and embarrassed your whole company," Paul said at the postfight press conference.

Paul has slammed White in the media several times since rising to fame in combat sports, mainly focusing on the UFC's low revenue share with its fighters.

White has fired back with his fair share of criticism, ripping the internet personality for fighting people who have no boxing experience and a size disadvantage.

However, Paul appears to want a step up in competition. He reiterated his interest in facing Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz in his next boxing match and mentioned Conor McGregor and UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Paul just needs White to allow those matchups to happen.

"Please let me get Kamaru Usman, please let me get Diaz, please let me get Masvidal, please let me get McGregor. Because I'm going to embarrass them, too," Paul said. "I promise you that, Dana. I promise you that."

Paul improved to 5-0 as a pro boxer with the knockout of Woodley, whom he also beat in August by split decision.
