UFC boss Dana White claims Jake Paul isn’t'remotely near' Conor McGregor’s weight. She should also call out Israel Adesanya

DANA WHITE stated that Jake Paul isn't 'even remotely near' Conor McGregor's fighting weight.

After nearly two years of practice, YouTuber-turned-boxer McGregor has now launched his new pursuit.

The American now wants to fight in MMA against his Irish opponent and claims he will drop from 190lb (13st 5"lb) down to 175lb (12st 5"lb).

McGregor has never fought at welterweight in UFC. White believes Paul cannot make it at the 170lb division.

He also questioned why the 5-0 fighter isn't challenging larger men, like Israel Adesanya (13st 2lb UFC Middleweight Champion), 32.

White stated to ESPN that White was amazed at White's size. He's calling these men out.

PAUL OR NOTHING

Jake Paul promises to donate his entire purse to UFC stars, if McGregor loses.

"Do you really want to witness that fight?" So why are you asking me this question? Why are you even asking me about this?

"They are not even close to being in the exact same weight class. They are not even remotely similar.

"It's 6'1, Conor McGregor's 220, and this kid is 155 lbs."

White jokingly said: "Why isn’t he calling Israel Adesanya out?" "I know, you know, and I know. Everybody else knows. He knows too."

McGregor, 33 years old, has only boxed once professionally, in 2017 against Floyd Mayweather (44).

Paul is now 5-0 as a fighter, with four knockouts from his debut in January 2020.

He beat his online rival, 'AnEsonGib,' ex-NBA player Nate Robinson (37), as well as ex–UFC pair Ben Askren (37) and Tyron Woodley (39)

Paul beat Woodley first on points in August, before winning their rematch four years later by brutal knockout.

McGregor has been called out by him to fight in boxing and MMA, but he admitted that a win in MMA would mean so much more.

"And if we took a poll about us in a MMA bout, fans would say that Conor is winning that."

"So, of course it would have been sweeter to knock his veneers out in MMA."
