Dana White is once again slamming Jake Paul for fighting Mike Tyson.
Two weeks ago, at UFC Miami, the UFC CEO spoke about his dislike of his 57-year-old friend fighting the much younger Paul.
“He gets mad when I do this, but Mike’s 60, man,” White said. “I don’t know, what do you guys think about it? Who gives a s*** what I think? It’s not my fight. I love Mike Tyson personally as a friend, and he’s one of my favorite athletes of all time. I don’t know, let’s see what he can go in there and put together a training camp and come in. I don’t like to see guys fighting at ─ it’d be a 31-year age difference during that fight. You guys know what I think of that stuff.”
On Wednesday, White appeared on the Pound 4 Pound podcast featuring Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo and once again criticized Paul over the fight.
Usman: On Jake Paul if you want to be taken seriously as a fighter…
White: But he doesn’t, what Jake wants is to make money. The people who follow Jake Paul don’t buy Jake Paul’s fights. So Jake Paul has to fight people who can actually sell PPVs”
Despite his dislike of the fight, White won’t say anything to Tyson, who is his close friend.
“Mike’s a grown a– man, he can do whatever the F, he wants and I’m going to stay out of Mike’s f’in business”
