Jake Paul has stated that 'UFC dies' after Dana White claimed that he was not aware of the head-to head struggle between their shows this weekend.
Paul takes on Julio Cesar Chavez JR on Saturday night in Anaheim, while UFC 317 the International Fight Week in Vegas Headlines. UFC boss White did not seem too busy about the collision when Bloody Elbow was asked last week, and claimed to have no knowledge that the event even took place.
There has been a long -term feud between Paul and White dating years, with the couple regularly sharing Jabs through the press. Now they go against each other on pay-per-view with two major events on the west coast.
Jake Paul hits Dana White's Jibe over head-to-head collision
Given that his last fight with Mike Tyson was one of the greatest of all time and distributed by Netflix, the return of Jake Paul would always fall a bit a step. When a fight with Canelo Alvarez fell at the last minute, he took on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Although the Tyson fight could not be avoided by months of intensive structure, Dana White was able to claim that he did not even know his event, led by Ilia Topuria vs Charles Oliveira, had a pay-per-view competition.
However, Paul and his business partner Nakisa Bidarian are not so sure, where the latter tells the bloody elbow: “That is a clear lie that he did not know because he pays attention to every little thing that Jake Paul does until the 20th degree.
“That includes a guest in Jake's show who said he left his own event to look at Jake Fight, correctly? We have been in this industry for less than four years and we have already set up the biggest event [Paul vs Tyson].
'They follow us [with Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford] After another event that we do. They are 40 years old, we have been in for four years. I hope they do greater income than we do, they should do that.
“But you can't discount on what he has done in four years. I know Dana is looking at everything that this child does. 100 percent.”
Paul then claimed that “UFC dies”, insisting on that they no longer have big stars and soon fall behind. “They have no current stars, they have skilled fighters, but it is all boring struggling where the Dagestani hunters win everything by bringing everyone to the ground.
“He can say what he wants, but you told him well about the fight? So now he knows. That's what press and media are. We sell the pay-per-views, so maybe people know nothing about it today or tomorrow, but on Saturday they will all know.”
Dana White claimed to have no idea that Jake Paul collided with UFC 317
During a media scrum at Fanatics Fest last weekend, Dana White was asked by Bloody Elbow how he felt about going against each other with Paul vs Chavez Jr. He did not claim that the event took place and seemed completely stunned that Oscar de la Hoya was completely involved.

“I don't even know,” he said. “I didn't even know he fought, so I'm so worried about it.” Asked if he thought it was a 'good fight' for Paul, who is often criticized for his level of opponent, White replied that it was an 'interesting' match and repeated: 'I didn't even know that.'
When Bloody Elbow made him aware that De la Hoya was involved in the promotion, he answered “No F – Ining Way” before he burned the event an “S -Show”.
