UFC president Dana White is never a one to back down from banter. Be it face-to-face or on social media, the ace entrepreneur knows how to deal with people who annoy him. Recently, the man who has made him raise his eyebrows is none other than YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

The highlight of that being a KO win over Ben Askren. He will feature in a match against former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley next, who also happens to be Askren’s collegiate.

White, who appeared for an interview with ‘Full Send Podcast’, talked about what he feels about Jake and the promotion he features on. The UFC supremo minced no words as he tore apart the boxing promotion.

“Listen, that’s all part of the business. You know, you wanna get noticed, you wanna stir up some shit? Start a fight with me,” White said. “I mean that’s how you do it, you know. He’s on f***ing Showtime. What are they gonna f***ing do?”
