Predictably, Dana White doesn’t think much of upstart boxing promotion Triller and its celebrity novelty bouts. Following a Contender Series event, White told the assembled press that Triller and those who purchase its pay-per-views are “”f*cking dumb”.
“Guys, let me put it to you this way: anybody who is f*cking dumb enough and willing to pay and watch these f*ckin’ fights, Anderson Silva boxed Tito Ortiz.
Dana White slams “f*cking dumb” Triller fights, calls out Jake Paul
Boxed Tito Ortiz. Tito Ortiz has no business f*ckin’ boxing anybody. Tito’s 40-f*ckin’-something years old, Evander Holyfield is almost 60 years old and he’s f*cking fighting. It’s silly.
All of it’s silly, and there’s always gonna be a certain number of people that are dumb enough to buy these fights and pay for them.”
White changed course momentarily to focus on the incredible career accomplishments of Anderson Silva, who is widely considered to be one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time.
“Anderson Silva, we honestly need to start talking again about this guy as the GOAT,” Not Tito, because he knocked Tito out in 40 f*ckin’ seconds, but he did to Tito exactly what should be done to Tito. Knocking Tito out in 40 seconds is what should’ve happened in that fight.
Anderson Silva beat Julio Chavez Jr., at, what, 46? At 46 f*ckin years old, he left this sport where he was considered one of the greatest of all-time, possibly even the greatest of all-time, goes out, beats Chavez Jr. in a boxing match, then goes and knocks Tito out in 40 seconds.
And, you know how I feel about Tito personally. Tito can’t box. He’s a horrible boxer and that’s why I said I would box him, but the other thing about Tito is when he fought here, Tito had a good chin.
Tito took big shots from a lot of guys who hit hard. Anderson Silva knocked him out in 40 seconds.
Anderson Silva might actually be the GOAT of combat sports.” Of course, Dana White couldn’t resist throwing a jab at Jake Paul.
“It will be interesting to see what he does next. I f*cking guarantee you this, you ain’t gonna see Jake Paul calling Anderson Silva out. That I f*ckin’ promise you.
He’s his size, and he’s actually good. He’s old, which is what Jake Paul looks for, he likes to fight old guys. But he likes to fight old guys that are too small and that are absolutely, positively washed up.”
When asked about the possibility of Jorge Masvidal taking on the YouTuber-turned-boxer, White simply reiterated his previous point.
“Hey, Jake: Anderson’s out.” Remember to stay up to date with the latest news on TheOvertimer. Don’t forget to visit Screenstinger for great videos, news, and gameplay!
