White not impressed with ‘PPV turd’ Paul’s latest opponent Rahman Jr.

If Jake Paul is trying to achieve some respect from the fight sports activities world by fighting 12-1 boxer Hasim Rahman Jr. on August sixth, he’s not getting it from Dana White.

White returned from a weeks-long trip to chair the UFC Long Island post-fight press conference, and naturally he was inundated with questions on Paul’s newest bout and antics.

“I imply, is that this nonetheless one thing? Is that this nonetheless a factor?” White requested when the Paul probes began. “It isn’t to me. I may care much less. He’s a pay-per-view turd.”

Requested if he was acquainted with Paul’s subsequent opponent, White replied “I do know of him. I noticed he simply bought knocked out by Tommy Morrison’s son. He simply bought knocked out. Why wouldn’t you go after the man who knocked him out?”

“That’s not the enterprise I’m in. I’m in a distinct enterprise than that. I’m within the powerful combat enterprise.”

After saying there have been zero talks about reserving Jake Paul within the UFC, reporters pivoted to asking if there have been any talks about reserving Logan Paul.

“I like Logan Paul,” White mentioned. “I’d by no means say by no means, like ‘I’d by no means try this!’ However we actually — each Tuesday I am going into matchmaking and we don’t speak about that sort of stuff.”

White took a chance to jab at his rival, Showtime Sports activities exec Stephen Espinoza, for carrying the Paul-Rahman Jr. combat on Showtime pay-per-view.

“That feels like one thing the weasel would do,” he mentioned. “To be trustworthy with you, when you consider it, you’ve bought Tyson Fury, he can’t get overseas. No matter else is happening in boxing? What else have they got happening? What else have they got? I don’t know why they’d try this once more, however yeah.”

White lastly tried to close down all of the rattling Paul discuss.

“I do know you guys like to ask me this silly s—t, however this isn’t what I do. I’m on the level, all these things going forwards and backwards, it’s foolish. It’s foolish for me to even f—king speak about this. It’s foolish.”
