Dana White has been in the fight business for over two decades now. White and his team have overcome numerous obstacles in order to get the UFC to where it is today. Over the course of his career as a promoter, Dana has had the chance to interact with and get to know some of the best fighters to have ever.
During the early days of the UFC, he would often fly around the world to spot new talent. Therefore, he has a pretty good understanding of who is a good fighter and who isn’t. According to the UFC head honcho, the new kid on the block, Jake Paul, isn’t a fighter.
