Jake Paul recently let out a verbal attack on UFC President Dana White. The YouTuber turned pro-boxer said he would knock Dana White out if they crossed paths. Given the fact that he was named in the comment, White was asked for his reaction to the same in the conference of the UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Chikadze event.
Well, White didn’t take those comments too seriously. He said this is the fight business, and it is normal for people to say mean things about each other rather than being nice. He also added that Paul might have to get in line to do so, as there are a lot of other people willing to do the same.

“Get in line. There’s plenty of people that would like to assault me… It doesn’t bother me… We are not in the nice guy business. I say mean things about people too,” said White.

Paul and White have had a few back-and-forths over the course of time. White also indicated that he doesn’t intend to ever collaborate with Paul, as he doesn’t want to engage in celebrity fights. It remains to be seen if he changes his view anytime soon.

Jake Paul faces Tyron Woodley in a boxing match
Paul will make his fourth appearance as a professional boxer. Later tonight, he will enter the ring to fight the former 5-time UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley. ‘The Problem Child’ last knocked out Ben Askren (a grappling phenomenon) to earn his third career win. Now, he will have a step up in competition as ‘The Chosen One’ is actually a good striker and legit knockout artist.
Paul has spared nobody with his verbal assaults, as he has called out a host of UFC stars for a boxing match. If he can actually get the better of Woodley, one might expect him to take on an even bigger name. Also, his attack on White might cause some sort of spark in the near future as well.
