Dana White open to Jake Paul fighting Conor McGregor in UFC, but there\u2019s a big catch YouTube: IMPAULSIVE \/ Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIME \/ Conor McGregorUFC president Dana White made a surprise appearance on Logan Paul\u2019s IMPAULSIVE podcast, where he claimed he\u2019s open to the possibility of Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor. The Paul brothers have had a long-standing public feud with UFC prez Dana White, ever since their first bouts in the boxing ring back in 2018. Since then, both YouTubers have made no bones about wanting a turn in the octagon \u2014 but White hasn\u2019t exactly been optimistic about the idea, notably claiming the brothers would \u201cget murdered.\u201d However, four years later, it looks like White\u2019s tune has changed, as he made a surprising statement regarding Jake Paul\u2019s long-awaited fight against Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor. When asked about his thoughts on the matter, White actually said he was open to the idea\u2026 but he isn\u2019t sure it\u2019s actually feasible. \u201cI\u2019m never completely closed off to anything,\u201d White said of the possibility. \u201cI used to say that about things, but I don\u2019t say that anymore. \u2018Cause you never know what could happen.\u201d Dana White explains why Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor might not happen Despite being open to the idea, White claims that weight and height are the biggest factors preventing a sanctioned bout between the two fighters. \u201cHe shouldn\u2019t even be fighting Conor McGregor,\u201d White continued before asking Logan about Jake\u2019s height and weight. \u201cThese guys are f**king huge. He\u2019s huge, his brother is huge. What\u2019s your brother, 6\u20191, 210? Conor McGregor is 145 \u2013 155 pounds. \u2026 there are weight classes for a reason.\u201d (Topic begins at 43:05) Jake Paul hits back at Dana White\u2019s comments on Conor McGregor fight Shortly after Dana\u2019s IMPAULSIVE appearance went live, Paul responded to his comments on the possibility of a Conor McGregor bout over on Twitter. \u201cDana White is begging for Diaz and Conor to fight for a third time,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThey have fought at 170 pounds in both their fights. I will fight Conor at 175 pounds, no problem. Stop making excuses.\u201d Dana White is begging for Diaz and Conor to fight for a third time\u2026they have fought at 170 pounds in both their fights I will fight Conor at 175 pounds, no problem Stop making excuses pussies https:\/\/t.co\/XDjQSawdQg \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) March 16, 2022 Since Jake\u2019s boxing debut in 2018, he\u2019s gone on to defeat the likes of Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren and former UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Throughout his boxing career, Paul has called out McGregor for a fight, with McGregor notably saying \u201cWho knows?\u201d in response to Paul\u2019s constant challenges just last month. For now, it doesn\u2019t look like a bout between these two stars is in the cards anytime soon\u2026 but it seems like everyone involved isn\u2019t completely against the idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
