Dana White guarantees he’s not shy in terms of expressing his disdain for anyone he doesn’t like however Jake Paul simply doesn’t fall into that class for him.
Regardless of some ugly forwards and backwards exchanges by means of interviews and social media over time, the UFC CEO says he holds no animosity in the direction of Paul — even when the YouTuber turned boxer loves to speak trash on him and the enterprise he’s operating. However White does discover it hilarious that Paul and his enterprise accomplice Nakisa Bidarian, who’s a former UFC govt, have been threatening to file lawsuits over claims that he’s competing in mounted fights throughout his boxing profession.
“I don’t hate your brother,” White advised Logan Paul on his Impaulsive podcast. “You understand what’s humorous about your brother? So your brother talks extra shit than anyone else on the planet. Now him and the warlock [Nakisa Bidarian] are operating round attempting to f*cking sue individuals? They’re attempting to f*cking sue individuals? When individuals discuss shit.”
Paul said publicly that he plans to hunt authorized motion in opposition to anyone making an attempt to defame his boxing profession, particularly after he engaged in an unpleasant interview with Piers Morgan forward of his battle in opposition to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. earlier this yr.
Following the alternate on his present, Morgan took to social media and claimed Paul was ruining boxing “with this boring staged bullshit.” Paul then employed powerhouse lawyer Alex Spiro to go after Morgan or anyone else claiming that he’s a prepared participant in mounted fights, which is clearly a really unlawful apply.
Morgan later clarified that he wasn’t saying Paul was taking part in mounted fights with a pre-determined final result however quite dealing with opposition like 58-year-old Mike Tyson that didn’t really current with an actual problem.
“His fights have been predominantly in opposition to older, past-their-prime opponents, which can be profitable for either side, and should have leisure worth, however don’t reveal how he stacks up in opposition to at present ranked boxers and due to this fact will not be a great search for the game,” Morgan mentioned in a press release. “I didn’t intend to counsel that the result was predetermined and definitely didn’t imply to counsel something unlawful.”
White understands that criticism as a result of he has the identical points with Paul dealing with anyone as previous as Tyson and even his subsequent matchup in opposition to Gervonta “Tank” Davis the place he’ll maintain a big dimension benefit over a 5-foot-5 tall opponent who sometimes competes round 135 kilos.
“There’s individuals on the market saying they’re pretend fights, they’re mounted and all this different f*cking bullshit,” White mentioned. “I feel what individuals imply once they speak about it, he’s going to battle f*cking Gervonta Davis. You guys must battle guys your f*cking similar dimension. Whenever you fought Floyd [Mayweather], you might be huge. You’re a large f*cking dude. Floyd’s tiny.
“I’m positive once you had been coaching, you’re like I’m going to hit this man with a pair punches and seize him, tie him up. He did hit you with a f*cking bomb of an overhand proper one time and also you f*cking ate it. You ate that punch. Gervonta, I feel hits method more durable than f*cking Floyd however he’s too small. Your brother’s going to have the ability to get inside on him, put his weight on him, tie him up.”
In different phrases, White tends to agree with somebody like Morgan in terms of Jake Paul dealing with opponents that in all probability don’t have an amazing shot at really beating him as a result of they’re both previous, previous their prime or simply method too small to truly problem him.
However White doesn’t imagine that Paul is definitely fixing his fights, though he nonetheless doesn’t perceive looking for authorized motion in opposition to anyone claiming in any other case.
“I don’t hate your brother,” White mentioned. “You brother’s on the market doing his factor however it cracks me up that they wish to begin suing individuals which might be speaking shit when your brother talks extra shit than anyone talks.
“Not most of the fights are respectable fights however not being mounted. What are you going to do if persons are f*cking saying silly shit? Individuals say dumb shit about me, my enterprise, on a regular basis. Who offers a shit? F*cking simply ignore it and maintain doing all of your factor.”
If something, White says Jake Paul appears to have a a lot greater difficulty with him than he ever had with the now 28-year-old fighter.
“He’s all the time speaking shit in regards to the UFC and all this different stuff,” White mentioned. “It’s like an obsession for him for some bizarre motive however I don’t hate your brother.”
