After weeks of preparation following the Tommy Fury fight cancellation fiasco, Jake Paul suffered yet another cancellation of a scheduled fight. The Problem child was all set to grace the Madison Square Garden, New York, and be on Showtime. However, before the August 6th bout with Hasim Rahman Jr. could come to fruition, the team of Rahman Jr. “pulled out.” Rahman Jr. could not just make the given 205lbs weight for the scheduled fight.

Now days after the cancellation, in an unexpected reference, Dana White called out promoter Bob Arum. According to White, Jake Paul should “hook up with a real guy” and avoid his current business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, aka The Warlock.

White said, “Jake Paul needs to hook up with a real guy who can get shi*t done. The Warlock was a fu*king accountant and The Warlock will save him a shi*t load of money on taxes. That’s about it.”
Going forward with his remark, White mentioned the name of Bob Arum. Here’s what he told about the all-time great Arum.

White personally dislikes Arum. Yet, he would acknowledge the sort of impact Arum has brought upon the game. Although White would refuse to do business with the CEO of Top Rank, he would advise Jake Paul to “hook up with” Arum or his likes. In White’s own words, “He (Jake Paul) needs to get a real guy. I mean, if you look at all the greats that were out there from Don King. Bob Arum’s a sc*mbag.”
“I fu*king hate him but he’s among the all-time greats.”

At this, just when the reporter mentioned the so-called “Olive branch thing“, White replied by saying, “F**k him. But I can’t deny he’s one of the all-time greats.”
Reportedly, once criticizing the sports of Mixed Martial Arts, Bob Arum compared the UFC to Gay Erotica. However, at the prospect of a mutually and widely beneficial crossover match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, he extended the Olive branch.
