Jake Paul thanks 'control freak' Dana White for promoting his fights: 'You literally tee up every single fight for me perfectly'

Cole Shelton - November 8, 2021

Jake Paul knows his feud with UFC president, Dana White has only helped him. Ever since Paul has turned pro and started to call out and fight UFC fighters, White has trash-talked him. He thought Ben Askren would beat him but after Paul beat him and Tyron Woodley, the UFC boss still criticized him for not fighting real boxers.

Dana White reveals he bet $100,000 on Canelo Alvarez to knock out Caleb Plant

Adam Martin - November 7, 2021

UFC president Dana White revealed he bet $100,000 on Canelo Alvarez to knock out Caleb Plant, winning over $41,000 when he got the job done. Alvarez fought Plant in Las Vegas on Saturday night, and on the other side of the country, UFC 268 took place in New York City. While White was busy overseeing UFC 268 and sitting cageside during the event, he also had the Alvarez vs. Plant fight on his monitor in front of his desk outside of the Octagon. The reason he was so interested in the Alvarez vs. Plant fight? While White is a massive boxing fan, it wasn’t just because he was so interested in watching the fight, but also because he had a $100,000 bet on Alvarez.

Dana White shoots down the idea of Kamaru Usman boxing Canelo Alvarez: “He don't want to fight Canelo”

Adam D Martin - November 7, 2021

UFC president Dana White shot down the idea of Kamaru Usman boxing Canelo Alvarez, saying that “he don’t want to fight Canelo.” Usman had been saying all throughout fight week that, with a win over Colby Covington in the main event of UFC 268, he wants to face the boxing pound-for-pound great Alvarez next. On Saturday night, both Usman and Alvarez competed in their respective sports. Usman defeated Covington via unanimous decision, while Alvarez defeated Caleb Plant via knockout. It’s only natural, then, that Usman will continue to chase this matchup against Alvarez, especially since both fighters just fought and don’t have their next match booked.

Canelo Alvarez responds to boxing challenge from UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman

Adam D Martin - November 5, 2021

Pound-for-pound boxing great Canelo Alvarez responded to the recent boxing challenge put up by UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Alvarez steps back into the boxing ring on Saturday night when he takes on Caleb Plant in a fight that takes place in Las Vegas. On the other side of the country, Usman defends his UFC welterweight title when he takes on his archrival Colby Covington. Should Usman defeat Covington, and the betting odds indicate that he should be a big favorite to get his hand raised in this fight, then expect him to continue chasing a superfight in boxing with Alvarez, especially if he goes out there on Saturday night and finishes Plant in boxing.

Colby Covington scoffs at Kamaru Usman’s callout of Canelo Alvarez: “Just more fake news and easier landing for him”

Harry Kettle - November 4, 2021

Colby Covington has laughed off Kamaru Usman’s recent talk of potentially fighting boxing star Canelo Alvarez. Covington and Usman, who will square off for the second time this weekend with the UFC welterweight title on the line, are set to go up against Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on the same night. Based on what went down when it was Canelo vs UFC in 2019, we’d say there’s going to be some talk about comparisons.

Adam D Martin - October 31, 2021

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul went out for Halloween dressed as UFC president Dana White, mocking White in the process. Paul and White do not like each other, that much you can say. Paul has been on a crusade to improve fighter pay in combat sports, particularly in the UFC, while White has come out and said that Paul should mind his own business and stay out of the UFC’s finances. Paul has continued to try and take shots at White, who mostly ignores Paul when he does speak. On Saturday, Paul took to his social media to take another shot at White, this time mocking the UFC president by dressing up as him for Halloween. Take a look at the costume below.

Drake Riggs - October 29, 2021

The war of words between Jake Paul and UFC President Dana White doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Claressa Shields, current PFL MMA lightweight and two-time Olympic gold medalist in boxing, recently shared her feelings on Paul when asked if she’d ever work with the YouTube sensation. Stating that she’d “never fight on the undercard of Jake Paul,” it led Paul to clap back at Shields following her first career MMA loss this past Wednesday against Abigail Montes at the 2021 PFL Championship.

Adam D Martin - October 28, 2021

YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul slapped an autograph seeker who called him a “p*ssy” ahead of next year’s Mike Tyson boxing match. Paul was signing autographs and talking to several fans outside of a nightclub in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. Not long after, one of the fans called him a “p*ssy” and Paul was not happy about it. He walked over to the fan, slapped him, and told him to scram. Security then came in and broke things up before anything more serious happened. It appears as though this incident was alcohol-fueled, and you can watch it below.

Jorge Masvidal believes Jake Paul was trolling with big-money fight offers

Adam D Martin - October 25, 2021

UFC welterweight superstar Jorge Masvidal believes that YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul was trolling with his big-money fight offers. Masvidal is set to step back into the Octagon at UFC 269 on December 11 when he takes on rival Leon Edwards. It’s the first fight for Masvidal since April when he lost via KO to UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Even though he lost that fight, Masvidal remains one of the biggest stars in the sport of MMA today and so he became a natural target for Paul when he was busy calling out MMA fighters. According to Paul, he was willing to pay Masvidal upwards of $50 million to fight him, but Masvidal doesn’t buy it.
