Dana White replied, saying, “Go fight somebody your own size. If you look at Jake Paul’s history, Jake Paul either fights basketball players who have never fought, or he wants to fight washed-up older guys who haven’t won fights in years.”
While Brunson is a departure from these opponents, he isn’t exactly known for his boxing, even in his UFC fights. However, it will be interesting to see what Brunson or Dana White say in response to Jake Paul’s comment.
