Jake Paul is currently all the hype in the boxing world, after his recent knockout win over Ex-NBA star, Nate Robinson, in only his second professional fight. A pumped-up Jake Paul then went on to call out UFC Fighters, most notably Conor McGregor. The YouTube star feels that he can take on mixed martial artists with ease in a boxing fight.

Speaking of this, an unimpressed Dana White said that he is not in to ‘these’ kind of fights and is something that he doesn’t want to do.

“There’s a market for those kind of fights; it’s just not what I do” – Dana White

When asked what are the chances that Jake Paul would fight Conor McGregor, Dana White said, “Zero. Listen man! Both these kids, him [Jake Paul] and his brother [Logan Paul] have done a good job of injecting themselves into the fight world… His brother [Logan Paul] lost to the video game kid from England [KSI]…Now that gets you a fight with Floyd Mayweather, that’s pretty crazy. But, I get it. There’s a lot of money in it. There’s a market for those kind of fights. It’s just not what I do.

Dana White also spoke of how a warrior like Conor McGregor, shouldn’t be taking on YouTube stars! “There will be a day when Conor McGregor, could do these type of fights and make a bunch of money. Conor McGregor is one of the best on the f***ing planet! He’s one of the greatest fighters on Earth right now! He shouldn’t be fighting kids that have f***ing YouTube videos,” White said.
