The combat sports world is well acquainted with the heated brawl between the UFC boss Dana White and the controversial YouTuber Jake Paul. The exchange of shots made the feud so intense that many proposed they settle the differences in the ring by organizing a super fight. However, White did not share the same sentiment. He is a reasonable man who entertains such questions with a thoughtful answer.

“We never got Dana White vs. Tito Ortiz. How about Dana White vs. Jake Paul? Let’s make it a Triller fight club/ Zuffa Boxing co-promotion FOR ALL THE MARBlES. Guys realize I’m 53 years old now, alright? When I was fighting Tito Ortiz, I was 37, I’m 53. Come talk to me when you f*cking idiots are 53 years old and tell me if you want to fight some f**king 20-year-old kid. I promise you, you do not. You are jacka** Sandhu,” White said.

The back-and forth between White and Paul began after Paul called out few UFC stars like Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz and Jose Masvidal for a fight. However, these contests could only happen if White allowed his fighters to fight. Which he did not do and in return, he accused Paul of taking steroids.
This did not sit well with the YouTuber-turned boxer, and he began blaming White for not taking care of UFC fighters. He even released a song to bash White.
