Jake Paul: Dana White reveals how he really feels about the Problem Child

Dana White has revealed his true feelings about Jake Paul.

The UFC president gave his thoughts on the Problem Child to Barstool Sports personality Robbie Fox during an appearance on the ‘My Mom’s Basement‘ podcast earlier this week.

And he insisted that he bears him no ill will despite the pair going back and forth with each other on social media and in interviews for the past few years.

White, 52, told Fox: “I don’t hate Jake Paul like everybody thinks I hate Jake Paul, you know what I mean?

“He’s a kid trying to make money, he’s doing his thing, he’s trying to make money.”

Social media influencer Fox – who boasts over 100,000 followers on Twitter – could hardly believe what he had just heard before replying.

The 22-year-old interjected by saying: “Do you think if you spent 24 hours in a room with Jake Paul, you guys would leave as kind of, not maybe friends but acquaintances, maybe a little respect for one another?”

White – who was the subject of a recent diss track by Paul – admitted he didn’t know the answer to that question.

He did, however, admit that he does have respect for his fellow American as his business portfolio continues to expand into different territories.

The veteran promoter replied: “I don’t know. I don’t know enough about him personally. I don’t know the answer to that question.

“But you know the guy’s done alright for himself, he’s making some money, he’s doing his thing.

“That’s the business we’re in, we’re in the business where, you know, a lot of s*** is talked.

“Like, I dislike Bob Arum way more than I would ever dislike Jake Paul.

“I think that Bob Arum is a scumbag. I don’t know Jake Paul well enough.” 

White has repeatedly played down the possibility of a business partnership with Paul in
