Recently the UFC CEO did a podcast with Bob and Kyle. At one point they started discussing Jake paul. Dana criticized and mocked him for his poor choice of opponents.
Jake has always been skeptical of whom he is fighting and fight fans have also questioned the same. However, since he has started calling out Conor McGregor the situation has altered and he is getting called a ballsy guy.
In the podcast, Bob asked where Dana sees that Jake paul and Dana White worlds could collide. To which Dana replied, “I just don’t think that would happen.”
He then clarified that he doesn’t hate The Problem Child but didn’t hesitate to call him annoying. Dana believes that he is working. However, Mr. White but in order to prove that he is a good boxer, he needs to fight boxers.
The UFC CEO then goes on to mock Jake by saying:
“I imagine he is training with the Boxers in the gym. So, there is a reason he is not fighting Boxers and wants to fight retired UFC wrestlers”
Dana Further added that he highly doubts that they (Dana and Jake) can be involved in some combat-related business. Because according to him Jake is not in the same business.
“I put the best against the best. He is calling Conor, who is a 145-pound champion” he added. Then questioned, “what does Jake paul weigh, 200 pounds?” Ridiculing his callout.

Dana White’s advice to Jake Paul
The 24-year-old has a professional record of 3-0. Despite getting high sales and media attention for his bouts Dana believes that his following in the media is decreasing.
When asked why he feels so he replied: “Because he is 200 pounds and wants to fight 170, 150 and they are wrestling and are 40 years old. Who hasn’t won a fight in 3 years”
The Problem Child is going to fight against The Chosen One on August 30. Tryon was a champion once in UFC but he hasn’t won a single fight in the past 3 years. Therefore, Dana advises Jake to fight someone real. However, surprisingly Dana wasn’t critical of his elder brother Logan at all.
