Jake Paul Sends Angry Message to Dana White Ahead of Revenge Fight with Former UFC Star Mike Perry

Jake Paul is taking aim at Dana White again ahead of his fight with former UFC star Mike Perry in Florida tonight.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is hoping to make it 10-1 tonight at Amalie Arena, the same venue where he knocked out Tyron Woodley in 2021. In his own way, he’ll do it against BKFC star Perry, who has been on a roll since leaving MMA’s biggest promotion in 2021.

Paul has a long-standing feud with Perry’s former promoter and was annoyed this week when rumours emerged that the pair would get back together if he beats the social media star this weekend. And he took his anger out on stage at last night’s ceremonial weigh-in.

Jake Paul Lashes Out At Dana White After He Pushes Mike Perry Across The Stage

During the final confrontation leading up to Jake Paul’s showdown with Mike Perry last night, the two nearly came to blows after the YouTuber pushed his rival across the stage. Security managed to separate them, giving them enough time to talk to Ariel Helwani on stage.

“Look, Dana White said he’d give him a UFC contract if he could knock me out,” Paul explained. “Well, guess what, Dana? You can rip up the f***ing contract, because I’m going to fuck Mike Perry. Anyone you send my way, any MMA fighter you have, you’re going to get fucked.

“They tried to kill me. They don’t want me in this sport. They hate that I run this sport, but when you try to kill a guy like me, I just get bigger.

“I’m on a mission from God, a mission from God, a servant of God to save this sport. And that’s exactly what I’m going to keep doing. Keep winning, keep fighting.”

Dana White mocked Jake Paul over planned Mike Tyson fight

After years of rivalry, White and Paul took a break from talking about each other and went their separate ways. The boxer eventually went down the road of fighting legitimate fighters like Andre August and Ryan Bourland as he worked his way up the world rankings.

But when it was announced that Paul would fight Mike Tyson, White took aim at him again, mocking the bout before it was rescheduled for November. “When the fight happens, he’ll be 58 years old,” White said. “It’ll be a 31-year age difference. You know, Jake Paul fought a guy his own age and he lost.

“I saw on the internet yesterday that if he beats Mike Tyson, he will fight Clint Eastwood next, Clint Eastwood is 93 years old. But he doesn’t want that, he doesn’t want to be a respected fighter, what Jake wants is to make money.

“People who follow Jake Paul don’t buy Jake Paul’s fights, so Jake Paul needs to fight people who can actually sell pay-per-views.”
