“He’s really something special and the fact that he’s willing to fight Tyson even if Tyson’s 57, just the fact that he’s willing to actually take a chance at Mike Tyson not being able to do what he used to do, ‘cuz that’s what he’s doing the gamble is like, there’s not a chance in hell that Jake Paul would survive against the Mike Tyson that beat Marvis Frazier,” said Rogan in a conversation with ex-CIA agent Mike Baker on a recent episode.

Rogan emphasized that if Tyson gets a bit equal to what he was when he faced Marvis Frazier then Paul would be in danger. Nonetheless, now that we know about Rogan’s real feelings towards their match, let’s move forward to Dana White.

Dana White might have cost a delivery driver his job. A few days ago, the UFC head honcho added a video to his Instagram handle which kind of rattled people who often use online delivery. The UFC supremo shared a video where it seemed like a FedEx delivery driver was not having the best day of his life as he was just throwing the valuable packages inside his truck.

White captured the instance and shared it on social media with a caption that said, “FedEx: We’ll get your sh*t there, but we’ll f*ck it up, My boy don’t give a f*ck.” That video spread like wildfire, and well, it got into the hands of FedEx executives. In a statement to ‘TMZ’, FedEx officials have claimed that they are deeply saddened by the incident and they are no longer in business with the delivery executive.

“The behavior depicted in the video is unacceptable and inconsistent with the professionalism FedEx demonstrates every day. We are committed to treating our customers’ packages with the utmost care, and this driver is no longer providing service for our company as a result of this behavior,” said FedEx. Well, seems like knowingly or unknowingly, Dana White has done some good work. Nonetheless, let’s move forward to some juicy news about Conor McGregor.
