DANA WHITE will not do 'jack s ***' alongside Bob Arum amid talk about Tyson Fury fighting Francis Ngannou.
In the past, Arum and Arum have clashed publicly with UFC President.

Their feuding could mean that Fury, 33, will not be able to form a new partnership with Ngannou, 35.
White stated at the UFC 271 press conference, "I'm no jack s***ing with Bob Arum."
"The two other guys I like, Al Haymon and Eddie Hearn are my favorites."
Haymon, an American boxing mogul, and White were a part of the mysterious 2017 fight that saw Conor McGregor (33), lose to Floyd Mayweather, 45.
British promoter Hearn has long praised White, whose boxers have previously used the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas.
However, Arum's feuding with UFC boss, which dates back at the veteran matchmaker slamming MMA in its early years, doesn't seem to be ending.

McGregor was the only one who was allowed to move to boxing in 2017 for his ten-round loss to Mayweather.
Ngannou is left to contemplate his future, as no other fighter has been treated the same.
Although he has finished his UFC contract, the Cameroonian champion is still bound to the promotion for the next twelve months.
If Fury refuses to extend his contract, he can cross to boxing. Fury, the unbeaten WBC champion, will have to wait.
FURY VS. NGANNOU "NEXT YEAR"
The Gypsy King plans to face Dillian Whyte (33-year-old mandatory challenger) next. Next, the winner will be between Oleksandr Uzyk, 35, or Anthony Joshua, 32.
Fury already has a plan in place to welcome Ngannou into the ring in 2023. He also predicts a record-breaking pay per view blockbuster.
He said to iFL TV, "I will fight Francis Ngannou in Las Vegas next Year - March or February."
"I have some boxing to do so there has been no talk this year. Next year, we will have some wild fights. It's a huge fight.
"I think it breaks all the pay-per-view records here in America." Two heavyweight champions will go head-to-head."
