Kim Kardashian Wheeled Out by UFC Boss to Troll Logan Paul in Forgotten Rant

Although UFC president Dana White has not had the best of relationships with Jake Paul, with both feuding over the last couple of years, he has some respect for Jake’s older brother, Logan Paul. White has a good professional relationship with ‘The Maverick’ and even made an appearance on his podcast ‘Impaulsvie’ a few months back.

However, White has taken a few friendly shots at the Youtube sensation as he once compared him to reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

Dana White thinks Paul is the Kim Kardashian of the fight world

In an interview with UFC Arabia back in 2021, White compared Logan to Kim Kardashian after he was asked to share his thoughts on Paul’s bout against Floyd Mayweather.

“That wasn’t a f*****g boxing match. Think about this, imagine if Kim Kardashian wanted to fight Amanda Nunes. How big do you think that fight would be? It would be huge. It would be the biggest, but give me a f*****g break,” said White claiming Paul was more of a showman rather than a professional fighter.

He then pointed out that although this model might bring in some money, they are not sustainable and vastly different from the UFC’s model, “You at least get two, three, or four good fights that you probably didn’t expect, and then when you turn the TV off you’re glad you watched it, that’s the product I sell. That’s what I’m into, I’m not trying to s–t on these other guys.” said White.

When White made an appearance on Paul’s podcast, they did have a talk about Paul competing in the UFC. However, White stated that he does not see that happening anytime soon at the press conference after the UFC Long Island event.

Moreover, it seems like The Maverick has his hands full at the moment after he made his move into the WWE. Paul competed in the first singles match of his career against the Miz at SummerSlam. He eventually came out the victor after he hit The Miz with his own Skull Crushing Finale for the pin.
