‘Go Hump Someone Else’s Leg’- Dana White Shuts Down the Idea of Jake Paul Facing Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz
UFC President Dana White recently appeared on ‘THE FIGHT’ podcast and spoke to Teddy Atlas in a long-form sit down. The podcast/interview lasted for roughly an hour and provided meaningful insight into Dana White’s outlook towards the fight game. White talked about the UFC’s expansion in 2021 and also revealed his plans for the upcoming year.
Additionally, White was also asked about a rising entity in the sport of boxing who has taken the world by storm. YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul has garnered attention in the fight game and has ended up butting heads against Dana White. Paul has called out Dana White’s star fighters such as Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz personally after his recent fight performance.
Jake Paul calls out Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal following his KO of Tyron Woodley: “Y’all are some bitches for leaving this arena. I know you don’t want that s***. I’ll take out both of y’all next. Get out of your contracts with daddy Dana. I’mma f*** them up too.”

However, White has now clearly shut down the idea of Jake Paul fighting anyone of his contracted star fighters. Instead, the long-time UFC boss cajoled Jake Paul to face off against a credentialed boxer instead. White certainly has no interest in releasing any of his fighters under contract to go over to the realm of boxing.
“No, no. You notice he wants to fuc**ng fight everybody that’s not in his weight class. Guys that are older and all this bullsh*t. Go find a boxer. Go hump somebody else’s leg you goofball.”

Who is lined up next for Jake Paul?
Despite Paul showing a lack of interest to fight Tommy Fury after he recently pulled out, Jake Paul might still revisit the younger Fury. Fury is a professional boxer and earning a win over Fury would be massive for his legacy in the sport.
Not to mention, with John Fury and Tyson Fury in Tommy Fury’s corner, promoting the fight, it’s more than likely that the buzz will be built up once again. Jake Paul has already faced two UFC fighters in his last three fights and fans may want to see something new.
However, Paul will still be holding out hope to possibly face Nate Diaz sometime in 2022. Stockton’s second son has only one fight left on his contract and he might not choose to resign with the UFC.
