All of the talk in the combat sports world lately has been about Jake Paul wanting to fight Conor McGregor in the UFC. Logan Paul, Jake's brother, recently had a chance to speak with Dana White directly where he addressed the topic.

Dana White was on  Impaulsive with Logan Paul where the subject of Conor McGregor vs Jake Paul was brought. The UFC President did not disappoint while talking about the potential fight.

“Well, he shouldn’t even be fighting Conor McGregor,” UFC President White said. “These guys [the Pauls] are fucking huge. [Logan] is huge, his brother [Jake] is huge. What’s your brother, 6-foot-1, 210 [pounds]? Conor McGregor is 145, 155 pounds. … There’s weight classes for a reason.

“Do you think [Jake] could make ‘70?” White continued, asking Logan Paul directly.

“I don’t think so,” Logan Paul replied.

“Yeah, exactly,” White said. “And it’s a stretch for Conor to fight at 170. He fought Nate [Diaz] at ‘70, that isn’t his fucking weight class, not even close.”

Dana White also took it as an opportunity to clear up his thoughts on Jake Paul. The UFC President doesn't have any issues with the younger Paul brother despite everything that has been said in the past.

“I’m never completely closed off to anything,” UFC President White said. “I used to say that about things, but I don’t say that anymore, because you never know. You never know what could happen.

“Listen, he’s a young kid out there trying to make some money, and I don’t fault anybody for that.

“It was never off-putting to me,” White added of Jake Paul’s antagonistic approach with the UFC. “In this business, it’s about attention. How much attention can you get? But more importantly, who gives a shit? Who cares that you’re going to fight this guy on Saturday night? You’ve got to make people care. You’ve got to make people stay home. They have a lot of different choices on Saturday, what to do with their time — you’ve got to make them stay home and pay for it. And everybody has a different style of doing that.

“I’m not against [Paul’s approach]. The thing is with me, if I really don’t like you and whatever, I won’t respond to you. I would’ve never responded to it.”
