UFC President Dana White told Jake Paul that he should forget about facing Jorge Masvidal, and instead 'fight someone your size'.
After learning that Tyron Woodley had tipped him to win their boxing match, The Problem Child is now aiming for a fight against the UFC's BMF.
Jake Paul is determined to fight UFC star Jorge Masvidal
White, UFC's bigwig, has not yet decided to allow the Gamebred under contract to box in order to face the younger Paul brother.
The Australian Daily Telegraph reported that Masvidal weighs 170 pounds. He likes 170 pounders. You can fight someone of your size.
White would love to see Anderson Silva, a former Disney star, and White as middleweight champion of the UFC, fight White. Anderson Silva is currently 2-0 in boxing since Anderson Silva was released by the promotion last November.
He said, "Anderson Silva has not been signed, he is 46 years old, that's what age group you like to fight and he can actually win fights.
"You can see that Jake Paul has fought basketball players in the past, but he also wants to fight older men who haven’t fought in years.
Anderson Silva is actually a boxer, he has won some fights and he is 46 years old. He's also in your weight class. It's easy to see why Anderson Silva is so popular.
White refuses to change his position on the fight, despite the fact that there is money to be made from a Paul Vs MasvidalPPV.
He stated, "You are not going to fight Jorge Masvidal (170-pound), who is ranked number 10 in the world."
"No. "No. Go f *****g to fight someone of your size.
"He just fought Tyron woodley. Tyron Woodley, 40, hasn’t won a fight for three years and hasn’t knocked out anyone in his weight class for five years.
"That's Jake Paul wanted to fight and he barely made it out of that fight.
"He barely won that fight. You want to fight Anderson, who isn't under contract and has only won two boxing matches.
"There you are. You are welcome. I just made your next bout for you, but I doubt you see that one happening. Wanna bet?"
Paul, 24 years old, won a split decision over Woodley, former UFC welterweight champion in his last fight in August.
The social media superstar agreed to a rematch against The Chosen One under the condition that he honor their pre-fight bets and get 'I Love Jake Paul' tattooed onto his skin.
He has since moved on to the fight and told ESPN: "I'm done with it."
"I'm leaving Tyron in my past.
He didn't live up the bet and didn't get the tattoo. The rematch doesn't make any sense.
