Dana White Laughs Off Alex Pereira vs. Jake Paul Fight: 'I Stopped Paying Attention When He Lost To Fury'

Many combat sports fans have criticized Jake Paul for the opponents that he tends to face when stepping inside the ring.

Paul also has a track record for calling out some of the biggest names despite there being very little chance that the fight would actually come together.

This was once again the case following his recent win over Mike Perry, where he called out one of the biggest stars in the UFC right now, light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.

Pereira unsurprisingly instantly responded but Dana White hasn't given the idea much thought.

Dana White Says He Doesn't Think About Jake Paul Anymore

The UFC boss has been very open about his dislike for what "The Problem Child" is doing in combat sports and therefore hasn't been paying much attention.

He made it clear that giving Pereira a pass to go and box Paul isn't an option that has ever been thought about because White tapped out of caring about the social media star's boxing career long ago.

I haven't even talked to Perry in a long time and I didn't even know Jake Paul was fighting. I was on vacation in Italy, I had no idea. There's all these stories that were written, it's ridiculous. I stopped paying attention to Jake Paul when he lost to Fury, you know what I mean. It's like when he fought somebody that was his age and actually boxed, he lost and I'm not s******* on the kid, I don't even think about him anymore.

It doesn't even cross my mind. I have no beef with him. 'They're trying to get me assassinated'. Nobody's trying to get you assassinated especially, listen, I respect Perry. Smaller, older, I mean it's the same blueprint that they're fighting older, smaller guys that, it's just I literally don't even think about him anymore. It's all b*******.
