Jake Paul slams Dana White & Conor McGregor over claims he\u2019s losing \u201cappeal\u201d UFC\/Instagram\/Jakepaul\/thenotoriousmmaYouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul responded to Dana White\u2019s claims that he is losing his \u201cappeal\u201d by taking aim at the UFC boss\u2019s \u201cbig star\u201d Conor McGregor. While appearing on the Full Send podcast on August 4, Dana White was asked about Jake Paul, whom he has been feuding quite a bit with in recent months over fighter pay. Despite Dana saying he was impressed by Paul knocking out Ben Askren in one punch, he doesn\u2019t seem himself ever working with the YouTuber. \u201cThe thing with Jake Paul is he\u2019s never fought anybody his size or anyone who is actually a boxer,\u201d White explained. \u201cHe beat up a forty-something NBA player, then Askren, who I still think should have done better than he did. And now Woodley.\u201d (segment begins at 28:40 for mobile viewers) Previously, White predicted Woodley to beat Paul, but noted how the former UFC fighter was past his prime, which he once again pointed out on Full Send. White went on to dismiss Paul as a legit competitor because he\u2019s never fought a real boxer before, and seemed to echo comments made by Colby Covington, where the UFC star claimed Paul wouldn\u2019t train with someone once they make him look bad at the gym. \u201cThe media isn\u2019t following him as much as they were in the beginning. The schtick\u2019s getting old. For him to get the media back, he\u2019s going to have to fight somebody. If he wants to be taken seriously by the media now, he needs to fight a real fight,\u201d White blasted. Dana White said this morning that I\u2019m losing my appeal and that my shelf life is very short. Because of this, I have given up my life and now am an employee of my brothers company \u2013 Maverick Enterprises. Thank you all, it\u2019s been a fun journey. \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) August 5, 2021 Jake Paul hits back at Dana White In response, Jake Paul took aim at both Dana and Conor McGregor in a social media onslaught. \u201cDana White said this morning that I\u2019m losing my appeal and that my shelf life is very short,\u201d Paul joked on Twitter. \u201cBecause of this, I have given up my life and now am an employee of my brother\u2019s company \u2013 Maverick Enterprises.\u201d Paul went on to film himself performing two Google searches \u2013 one for himself and the other for Conor McGregor. While he had 187,000,000 results, the same couldn\u2019t be said for McGregor, who he called White\u2019s \u201cbig star.\u201d SoOOoo @danawhite DoEs DiS mEaN uR Big StAr CoNoR @TheNotoriousMMA LoSiNg aPpEaL ?! pic.twitter.com\/WgG3695ol8 \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) August 5, 2021 For McGregor, there were 62,400,000 results \u2013 a significant amount less than his own. \u201cDoes this mean your big star Conor McGregor is losing appeal?\u201d Jake rhetorically asked with the alternating capital letters to indicate a mocking tone. It\u2019s clear that this feud between the two is far from over and it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess how or if it\u2019ll ever end. Needless to say, however, Jake isn\u2019t one to take any comments from Dana without having the last word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
