Jake Paul slams Dana White after UFC president dubs him \u201cgimmick\u201d boxer Instagram: Jake Paul \/ UFCJake Paul is back at it again with his \u2018heel turn\u2019, and this time he slammed Dana White in a series of social media posts after the UFC president dubbed him a \u201cgimmick\u201d during an episode of the Shout! Podcast. Jake Paul has been doing his best to try and entice UFC and MMA fighters such as Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, and Dillion Danis to face him. Considering his brother managed to lock in about with Floyd Mayweather, anything is possible. However, nothing has come to fruition yet, so he\u2019s thrown some jabs at Dana White throughout the course of his efforts to try and force a reaction. He finally got one on a recent episode of the Shout! Podcast. Here\u2019s what Dana White had to say and what Jake Paul said in response. \u201cWho gives a sh*t?\u201d said Dana White, in response to a question about Logan Paul and Jake Paul. \u201cNeither one of these guys can fight. It\u2019s all a big gimmick. Like I said at a press conference, there\u2019s a market for that. If people are dumb enough to spend their money watching that sh*t, I don\u2019t know what to tell you. Good luck to them.\u201d \u201cI could care less what that guy [says],\u201d he added, referring specifically to Jake. \u201cI get it. He\u2019s trying to make some money and doing his thing, and there are people out there who want to spend their money on that. I\u2019m not that guy.\u201d \u201cAmanda Nunes will knock that kid out,\u201d he said. \u201cTo even think about that guy fighting, he\u2019s like \u2018I\u2019m never going to fight a woman.\u2019 You shouldn\u2019t because she\u2019ll put you in a coma. The guy is just some kid off the street.\u201d Jake was less than impressed with being dubbed a \u201cgimmick,\u201d and he responded in a series of social media posts. \u201cThe Alaskan Bull Worm, also known as Dana White, is back at it again,\u201d he said. \u201cLet me break it down for you.\u201d \u201cSo two days ago, the Alaskan Bull Worm Dana \u2018Wipe\u2019 gets on some random podcast and starts talking shit,\u201d he said. \u201cInteresting Dana, but you\u2019ve been talking about us for two years? Even three weeks ago!\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1345589865912537090 \u201cIt\u2019s a big gimmick?\u201d he added. \u201cComing from the guy who let CM Punk, a fake WWE wrestler, headline a UFC event. Oh my god! A lot of talking, Dana. But let\u2019s check the numbers.\u201d He then compared the top-selling UFC event in 2020, which was UFC 251 at 1.3 million PPV buys, to the 1.8 million he helped pull in the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. Exhibition bout. \u201cGood luck to you, because you f**king need it. I hope you find those 500,000 extra pay-per-view buys somewhere. Maybe this will all help you. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1345589992622440448?s=20 If you want to see all the posts for context, you can find the thread here. Some people are convinced that Jake knows exactly what he\u2019s doing. They believe he\u2019s trying to ruffle as many feathers as he can, hoping to land the best possible deal and outcome. Others think he\u2019s an egomaniac who\u2019s barking up the wrong tree. They think he\u2019s asking to get knocked out and probably look forward to seeing it happen. Love him or hate him, there\u2019s no doubt that he\u2019s doing an excellent job in acting like the perfect \u2018heel\u2019 or \u2018bad guy\u2019 in the scenario. It\u2019s only a matter of time before his next fight happens, and it\u2019ll probably be as successful as the last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
