UFC CEO Dana White continues to slam Jake Paul

Two weeks ago, after defeating Mike Perry in a boxing match, Paul called out UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira to step in the ring with him.

“Alex Pereira, you said you want to box, I’m the king of this,” Paul shouted from the ring. “Come over, we can make it happen. I want you Alex Pereira. I just beat a BKFC champion. I beat multiple UFC champions. He said he wants to box. Alex Pereira, after Mike Tyson, let’s make it happen.”

During a recent interview, White was asked about Paul calling out Pereira and he fired shots at the Youtuber turned boxer.

“The media just eats all his bullsh–… I stopped paying attention to Jake Paul when he lost to [Tommy] Fury.

“When he fought somebody that was his age and actually boxed, he lost…”

“It’s the same blueprint. They’re fighting older, smaller guys.”

Paul’s management team fired back at White on social media.

“How is it that Dana White doesn’t think about Jake Paul anymore and didn’t know he was fighting, but on the spot is able to quote specific statements made by Jake during the Paul Perry fight week?”
