Dana White reveals Jake Paul UFC fight offer amid Conor McGregor speculation Amanda Wescott\/SHOWTIME\/WikimediaUFC President Dana White revealed he was willing to give YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul a chance to fight in the octagon, amid speculation that he faces off against MMA superstar Conor McGregor. Jake Paul has been feuding with Dana White for months now, frequently calling out the UFC boss for underpaying his fighters and demanding he does right by them. In his pursuit of better fighter income, The Problem Child has made several offers to White and Conor McGregor, most recently demanding a fight with the Irishman under the condition that if he loses, he would donate his purse to others on the card. Amid this war of words, Dana White revealed he actually made an offer to Jake Paul to get involved in the UFC, but for some reason, it wasn\u2019t enough to get Paul on board. Dana White claims Jake Paul rejected UFC offer In an interview with Sky Sports, Dana White was asked about taking Jake Paul\u2019s tweets seriously where he often calls out the UFC boss. \u201cNo. Why would I?\u201d White responded. \u201cBecause he\u2019s popular I should take his tweets seriously? I\u2019m not sh*tting on the kid; we\u2019re the biggest fight promotion company in the history of the world. No, I don\u2019t take his tweets seriously.\u201d To add to this, White even admitted that he made contact with Paul to try to get him involved. \u201cI made an offer to him. He was talking sh*t. I made an offer to him and obviously, he didn\u2019t want to do it,\u201d he revealed. \u201cIt\u2019s all good. There\u2019s always gonna be a market for what he does. His style, what he\u2019s got going on. This just isn\u2019t the place.\u201d It\u2019s not clear what the offer entailed if it involved McGregor or why Jake Paul rejected it, but it does add an interesting twist to the ongoing feud between the two. So far, Jake Paul has yet to respond to Dana\u2019s claim, but it will be interesting to see if the two can reach an agreement to finally see the YouTuber step into the octagon at some point in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
