DANA WHITE wouldn't sign Logan or Jake Paul to UFC, as he has learned from his mistakes in throwing MMA novices into the lion’s den.
The Paul brothers have managed to become significant players in boxing, much to the dismay of many sports purists.
Logan Paul (L & R), Jake Paul (L & R), have been big names in the boxing world.
Logan Paul previously stated that he would like to experience the octagon.
Logan, 27, defeated Floyd Mayweather while Jake, 25, defeated former UFC world champion Tyron Whiteley twice.
When Conor McGregor, a former champion in two divisions, began to campaign for Logan to fight him, the possibility of them entering mixed martial arts was raised late in 2019.
Although the talk has slowed down, some still believe that YouTubers could be a part of MMA's most prestigious promotion.
Logan doubled his enthusiasm to fight in the Octagon at the start of 2021 and said: "I love UFC fights. I would love to fight in the UFC one day. I'm not saying now, let me get my skills up."
However, Logan's wish is unlikely to come true due to the promotion's ill-fated CM Punk experiment from September 2016.
Former WWE star made his MMA debut against Mickey Gall, UFC 203. He had no professional or amateur experience.
Punk was defeated in less than two minutes.
Punk was a complete participant in the sport and deserves a lot of credit. However, Punk's second outing against Mike Jackson, he was just as terrible.
White didn't regret giving Punk, real name Phillip Brooks, a promotion. However, it was a lesson in signing fighters who have limited experience in martial arts.
He stated that CM Punk would attend the fights because he was such a big fan and wanted to do this. I gave him a chance.
"I have never done anything like that except Brock Lesnar. It worked with Brock, but it didn't with Punk.
"No, he's a nice man. It was a mistake to include Michael Jackson there. He will not be called Mike Jackson. He is Michael Jackson. That I regret. That is what I regret.
White will treasure the memories of Punk's fights in the promotion and James Toney's showdown with Randy Couture in 2010 as long-lasting ones.
They will likely have ended the hopes of any celebrity ever competing in the octagon.
After his UFC 203 defeat by Mickey Gall, CM Punk looks dejected.
UFC President Dana White doesn't like the Paul brothers
White made it clear that social media stars would never step foot near the octagon, if they didn’t already know this.
He said, "Neither of those brothers can fight."
It's all a big gimmick. As I stated in a press conference: There's a market.
"If people are stupid enough to spend their money on that s ***,, I don't know how to explain it to them.
"Good luck to them. "I couldn't care less about what this guy does."
"I get it. He is trying to make money and doing his best. Some people want to spend their money on this. "I'm not one of those guys."
