UFC president Dana White has responded to Jake Paul’s comments about wanting to fight Jorge Masvidal, making it clear that nothing of the sort is going to happen. White also claimed that Paul should try and fight former UFC legend, Anderson Silva. Via the Daily Telegraph:

Come on, Masvidal is 170 pounds,” Dana White said. “He likes 170 pounders. Go fight somebody your own size. Anderson Silva is not in contract, he’s 46 years old, that’s the age group you love to fight, and he’s your size, and he’s actually winning fights. If you look at Jake Paul’s history, he either fights basketball players who have never fought, or he wants to fight washed-up older guys who haven’t fought in years. Anderson Silva has actually been boxing, he’s won some fights, he’s 46 years old, and he’s in your weight class. There you go, that’s a no brainer, fight Anderson Silva.

Dana White is clearly not fond of Paul, who has constantly been attacking the UFC main man to expose his fighters’ “lack of boxing ability”. The Youtuber turned Boxer spoke out recently about how he wanted to fight Masvidal, but that will be almost impossible considering he’s under contract with the UFC.

Jake Paul applauded Anderson Silva this week for being an absolute legend but did voice concern about his age. However, he’s been boxing for a few years now and even at 46, could probably put up quite the fight against Paul. Dana White obviously wants to see Jake Paul fight Silva instead of trying to set up a bout with Masvidal. He’s made it very clear. That just won’t happen.
