Supposedly Ben's insurance was refusing to pay for the double lung transplant and Dana White and Jake Paul paid for it.


Few takeaways:
Even though Dana and Ben had their disagreements over the years the Dana part doesn't surprise me. The Jake Paul part shocks me though. I'm not sure I can start liking the guy but maybe I'll stop hating him.

How the **** does an insurance not pay for a double lung transplant on a young and otherwise healthy individual?
