UFC President Dana White Recollects His Only Conversation With “F—Ing Wise A**” Jake Paul

Published 02/27/2023, 9:45 AM EST

Dana White‘s unusual relationship with the Paul brothers is no secret to combat fans. While his association with Logan has taken new grounds after the recent Prime and UFC deal, it’s White’s connection with Jake Paul that appears to create more buzz among fans of the sport. The UFC president has, on many occasions, not shied away from taking shots at the 26-year-old, which naturally has resulted in a back-and-forth between the two several times.

Now, in a fresh appearance on “My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox”, the UFC president has once again taken a dig at the younger Paul brother. Calling him out for acting like a ‘f*****g wise a**’ when they initially met, White stated that he barely knew or has had any conversation with Jake so far.

The UFC president clearly recollected meeting Paul at one of the Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury fights. Although he didn’t specify which one of the duo’s fights it was, his description of the event clearly showed that he wasn’t impressed by the way it was organized.

“The first time I ever met him, I took my son to the first boxing match. I want to say it was Wilder and Fury. I think that was the fight we went to and this kid rolls up on me and he’s got like a f****g jacket on with no shirt and you know.” remembered the 53-year-old.

He further describes the event in detail, even calling it a ‘sh*t show’, “First of all this fight was a sh*t show, f****g no security in there. Somebody was sitting in my seat. Name everything that could go wrong when you go to an event, and that’s what happened.”

Clearly, a very disturbing backdrop to meet someone, especially for the first time.

Dana White then describes how Paul came up to him during all the chaos that was taking place at the event. “It was the f****g worst event that I’ve ever been to in my life and I’m trying to get these f****g guys out of my seats to figure all this stuff, he rolls up to me the first time. I didn’t even know who he was. I didn’t know who he was or anything and he’s a total f****g wise ass right.”

White continued to talk about Paul acting strange and pointed out it was his son who recognized the YouTuber first.

“I’m like, ‘listen man, I’m f****g trying to get my seat situated here’, he’s like ‘okay you go on and keep being famous or some sh*t like that’ I’m like ‘who the f**k is this guy…My son told me who he was right, that was the first time I ever met him.” narrated the UFC president.

Ultimately, despite all the back and forth, he disclosed that they have never actually had any interaction following the first meeting.

White revealed, “So that was our first ever interaction, which you know wasn’t a good one, but no I don’t know him, we’ve never ever had a conversation that was the only conversation he and I have ever had.”
