UFC president Dana White has responded to the recent threat made by Jake Paul, saying that he would “slap” him if he ever did anything like this again.
Dana White, the president of the UFC responded to Jake Paul’s KO threat on Twitter.
Getty UFC President Dana White talks to the media at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City, on July 13, 2017, during the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor World Press Tour event.
White reacted to “The Problem Child’s” recent threat in the latest episode of UFC president Dana White vs. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
White was questioned about Paul’s remarks from earlier in the week during the UFC on ESPN 30 post-fight news conference on Saturday, August 29, 2021.
The Problem Child was asked whether he’d ever bring White to one of his bouts at media day for Paul’s boxing showdown with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, which airs on Sunday, August 29, 2021.
Paul said, “I don’t believe Dana would come, dude.” “At the end of the day, he’s constantly talking about me, and I’m always talking about him,” she says. He’s attempting to delegitimize what I’m doing. He likes Tyron Woodley, a five-time UFC champion, and Dana White calls him the best welterweight of all time. Then, 12 months later, he stinks again. Jake Paul is squaring off against him, blah blah blah. So he’s just attempting to discredit whatever I do. That is, of course, what I would do if I were in his shoes. He’s a shrewd individual.”
The Problem Child was then asked how his and the White’s “story” ended. That’s when Paul made his outrageous allegation.
Paul said, “I believe it finishes with me bumping into him at a bar in Vegas and knocking him out.”

Paul’s KO claim was met by a response from White.
White used the Saturday night press conference to poke fun at Paul, pointing out that he has fought against a number of elderly sportsmen, including former UFC fighters Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
White told MMA Junkie, “It really makes sense.” “I’m 52 years old,” says the speaker. I’m in the same age group as the men he fights, so I can see why he’d want to fight me. It’s just 50-year-olds he fights.”
The social media star was then ordered to “get in line” by White, who acknowledged that Paul’s remarks didn’t upset him.
White said, “Let me tell you what.” “Stand in line. There are a lot of individuals that want to attack me. Join the queue. Buddy, it’s a long f****** line. You’re going to have to wait a bit. No, I’m not bothered by it. We’re in the business of being in the business of being in the business of being in the business of being in the I say the same thing about fighters all the time. We’re not in the business of being polite. This is a ruthless industry. I, too, say a lot of hurtful things about others. It’s all part of the fun. Everything is fine.”
