“Just Asking For Trouble”: Fans Left Confused After Dana White Challenges Tyson Fury to Become ‘The Baddest Man on The Planet’
Follow Us
The online debacle between Tyson Fury and Jon Jones has garnered a lot of attention all across combat sports fans lately. It all started when Joe Rogan had the famous comedian Andrew Schulz on his podcast, Joe Rogan Experience, and he talked about how he’d have all his money on Jones if he was trapped inside a room with Tyson Fury. This poked Fury in the wrong way, and he came out saying that he’d obliterate Jon Jones in a boxing fight. Now, Dana White has broken his silence on the matter, and recently during the UFC Vegas 74 post-fight press conference, he called out Fury for an MMA fight.
White said that he’d like to end the debate of who’s the actual baddest man on the planet. For that, he said, “I’m telling Tyson Fury, who I respect very much if you really want to find out who the baddest man on the planet is, I will make that fight.” He stated that they figured out the payment with Floyd Mayweather when he fought Conor McGregor. They can easily figure out how to pay Fury as well. Many fans had different opinions regarding this offer.

…Fury is out here asking for $100M+ for a fight with Usyk, no way Dana can afford half of that

Paul pointed out that this is nothing but a waste of time. As boxing and MMA both are different sports, the fan further elaborated that one wouldn’t want to expect LeBron James, Roger Federer, or Tiger Woods to play in the NFL.
Just asking for trouble here.
You wouldn't get Lebron James, Roger Federer or Tiger Woods to play in NFL, why make a boxer fight MMA.
Its a completely different sport.

Another fan, Sweet Pugilism, called out the irony of Dana as he couldn’t make Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou happen, in the span of three years.

One fan, Jamie Ellison, stated that Fury would demolish Jones in a boxing fight.
While Jones would do the same to Fury in the MMA, so this is all useless.
Fury absolutely destroys Jones in a boxing match, Jones absolutely Mullers Fury in the octagon. What’s the point.

Gorilla shared the same sentiment as the previous comment, but the user also added that it would still be exciting to witness if it happens, nonetheless.
Fury won't accept that fight as we already know the outcome in the octagon. JBJ wouldn't accept a fight in the ring either as we already know the outcome of that fight.
I'd still love to see it though.
