Dana White is the latest combat sportsperson to give his opinion on the Jake Paul-Claressa Shields beef. He sided with PFL's boxer turned MMA fighter in a very predictable move.

Jake Paul went off on Shields after her loss and the two went back and forth. Dana White completely disagrees with the Paul brother.

“He better be careful, she might knock him out,” White told MMA Fighting’s Jose Youngs. “… So Jake Paul calls Claressa Shields a loser? Claressa Shields is nothing but a winner who actually fought real people in her weight class in her own age in her own sport and then goes over to MMA and tries to win a world title. That’s not a loser, that’s a winner, okay?

“When are you gonna start fighting somebody your own fucking age, your own weight, that actually fights in your own fucking sport that you’re claiming you’re in? Shut the f*ck up, you goofball. For you to call Claressa Shields a loser is fucking unbelievable.”

Dana White had nothing but praise for Shields and her foray into MMA. Being at the top of one sport and switching over to another is a tough move.

“Nothing but respect for Claressa Shields,” Dana White said. “To be looked at as the best female boxer and to come over here and start training and start to do this, not easy and nothing but respect for her. She lost a split decision? Which is even more impressive, in her second fight she loses a split decision, which means one of the judges thought she won the fight.

“Nothing but respect for her and she should just keep plugging along and keep training and doing what she’s doing. Obviously, she’s a very talented, gifted athlete. Crazy that anybody’s saying anything to her, that’s ridiculous.”

Dana White was all on board with Shields potentially knocking out Jake Paul. The UFC president hopes they run into each other.

“I hope he runs into her somewhere and she knocks him the fuck out,” White said.
