Jake Paul in UFC? Dana White admits \u201cnever say never\u201d over YouTuber\u2019s MMA fight rumors YouTube: FULL SEND\/NELKUFC President Dana White admitted that Jake Paul in the UFC is a possibility as he\u2019ll \u201cnever say never,\u201d but he has some doubts that the YouTuber would make the leap. Following his devastating knockout victory over Tyron Woodley in their rematch, all eyes have been on who Jake Paul will fight next. The 25-year-old has been tipped to fight former Middleweight boxing king Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and has been called out by other boxers as well. However, the social media star has revealed that he\u2019s been training in mixed martial arts too, and could even be in line to join the ranks of Bellator or PFL to step inside the cage. If he does step into the MMA world, fans would naturally want to see Jake in the UFC at some point, given that is the biggest stage. Though, he\u2019s had a well-documented beef with UFC President Dana White. However, Dana is \u201cdone\u201d with that from his side. The UFC boss joined the NELK Boys on their FULL SEND Podcast on January 20th, and naturally got to talking about the long-standing beef with Jake. \u201cIt\u2019s not that he doesn\u2019t have my respect, I don\u2019t even know the kid. To be honest with you, right here right now, this is the last time you\u2019ll hear me talking about him. I\u2019m done with it,\u201d Dana said, noting that Jake didn\u2019t respond to his drug-testing challenge, so he\u2019s over the back-and-forth. White was quickly quizzed by the YouTube stars on whether Jake could make the move to MMA and, eventually, the UFC too. \u201cWould I let him (in the UFC)? Well, he can do whatever he wants to do. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think that would ever happen but listen, I never say never anymore,\u201d he responded. Topic starts at 14:05 The UFC boss noted that he never expected to promote a fight between a UFC fighter and Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather, but that happened back in 2017 with Conor McGregor, so nothing is off the table. Beyond talking a bit about Cesar Chavez Jr., and wanting to train in MMA at the famed AKA Gym, Jake has been a little more low-key about what his next move might be. So, we\u2019ll have to keep an eye on things and whether or not his potential MMA switch becomes reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
