Jake Paul’s war of words with Dana White rages on. UFC president Dana White and Jake Paul clearly dislike each other. Jake Paul called out Jorge Masvidal for a fight after the two exchanged some words on Twitter. The 24-year-old then called out Dana White for not letting his UFC fighters fight boxing matches.
Fresh off a win against Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul wants to fight again. Every time Jake fights a UFC fighter, Twitter calls him out for not fighting real boxers. However, it looks like Paul did not take this into consideration before calling ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal out for a fight.
The ante has been upped.

Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul not only called out Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal on The MMA Hour hosted by Ariel Helwani. Instead, he also spoke of an interesting UFC vs Boxing event that would see ‘The Lioness’ Amanda Nunes take on Amanda Serrano.
“My team and I are actively in discussions with multiple potential opponents and that includes Anderson Silva, assuming he can get the right medical clearances and deal with his contractual commitments.”

“On your show you asked my preferred next opponent- easy answer since Jorge (Masvidal) said he’s going to break my face. So yeah, I want Jorge and his teammate Amanda Nunes, who Dana previously disrespected by offering to allow her to fight me but not his male fighters, can have the honor of boxing pound-for-pound great Amanda Serrano.”
However, Dana White had some words for Jake Paul.

Anderson Silva looks better than ever after transitioning to boxing and picking up two impressive wins. First, he beat the former boxing champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Then, he beat Tito ‘The Huntington Beach Bad Boy’ Ortiz.
Who do you think Paul should face in the ring next? Would a UFC vs Boxing event sell good PPVs?
