Dana White wants \u201cridiculous\u201d Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight called off YouTube: FlagrantUFC CEO Dana White visited Andrew Schulz\u2019s Flagrant Podcast and shared his thoughts about the \u201cridiculous\u201d Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight happening on Netflix. Although the fight has been postponed, Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul is still set to premiere on Netflix with the new date being revealed on June 7, 2024. Many have shared their thoughts about the upcoming fight, and the UFC\u2019s very own Dana White has chimed in during a visit to Andrew Schulz\u2019s Flagrant podcast. During the episode, Schulz asked Dana his thoughts about the bout and the UFC President was quick to call it \u201cridiculous.\u201d \u201cWhen this fight happens Tyson will be 58 f**kin years old. Under any circumstances an almost 60-year-old man shouldn\u2019t be fighting a 27-year-old guy under any circumstances\u2026 it\u2019s just f**kin ridiculous,\u201d he said. White went on to explain that he\u2019s against the fight because he\u2019s worried about Tyson\u2019s health at nearly 60 years old. \u201cJake Paul\u2019s 27, he\u2019s in his f**kin prime\u2026 and I love Mike. No one wants to see Mike get beat by this f**kin j**koff,\u201d Dana said. (Topic starts at 58:36) This isn\u2019t the first time that Dana White has chimed in on the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight, either. Back in March, White explained that the fight wasn\u2019t \u201cserious\u201d due to the age gap. However, fighting someone as legendary as Mike Tyson has its obvious perks. He said: \u201cHe doesn\u2019t [want to be taken seriously]. What Jake wants is Jake wants to make money. The people that follow Jake Paul don\u2019t buy Jake Paul\u2019s fights so Jake Paul has to fight people who can actually sell pay-per-views.\u201d After the Paul vs Tyson fight was postponed due to the legendary boxer\u2019s health issues, more than a handful of others reached out attempting to take Tyson\u2019s spot. This includes former Tyson opponent Roy Jones Jr, who said he will make sure to be in shape for a fight should the opportunity arise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
