Dana White and Jake Paul have been in an odd feud over the past couple of months with the YouTuber crossing over into boxing. The UFC President has made it clear he never wants to work with the YouTuber and Paul has been jabbing him at every opportunity.
Dana White recently did an interview with BoxingScene.com and he talked about how he really feels about Jake Paul. The UFC President assures everyone it's not that serious.
“He really hasn't been a thorn in my side,” said White. “I really don't hate him like people think I hate him. He’s out there doing his thing. He's a young guy. He's got a fanbase and he's trying to make some money. So I don't ever fault anybody for that.”
The UFC President was also asked about doing more cross-promotion events and if he would be interested in working with Jake Paul. Dana White just doesn't see anything as big as Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor.
“Obviously when there is this underground swell from the fans and from the media and the event builds up into something like Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor was, you saw how that worked out. I ended up doing it,” said UFC President White. “But I haven't seen anything that big and that crazy since. I'm doing fights every Saturday, and I have a ton of up-and-coming talent. That’s what the UFC does. If there is a fight that can be made, that’s big, that my fans really want to see, I usually do it.”
