UFC president Dana White has responded to Jake Paul claiming he'll retire from boxing with the most savage callout you're likely to see all year.
The YouTube star is currently 5-0 but he's said he'll permanently step away from boxing if White agrees to three conditions - one of which involves fighting Jorge Masvidal in the UFC.
White responded to the list overnight and he took aim underwhelming PPV buys for Paul vs Tyron Woodley II last month and doubted if he wrote the statement himself.
He also reminds the 'Problem Child' that he never accepted White's challenge of being tested for cocaine for 10 years as long as he can test Paul for steroids.
White begun: "That thing that you came out with today: nobody on earth thinks that you really wrote that. You’re too stupid.
"And for those of you that don’t know, if you’ve ever watched one of his fights and you see when they do the stare-down, the guy that’s standing in the middle with the warlock nose and the big warlock wart on his face, apparently that’s his manager and that guy used to be an accountant for me.
"And let’s just say this, he no longer works for me and I think he’s a scumbag."
The man with the 'warlock nose' White is believed to be referring to is former UFC chief financial officer Nakisa Bidarian.
Bidarian is also the co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, Paul's own promotional company.
Paul's second fight with former UFC welterweight champion Woodley reportedly did less than 65,000 buys, lower than All Elite Wrestling's Full Gear pay-per-view a month prior.
The 24-year-old has denied those claims but it hasn't stopped White mocking his ability as a draw.
White continued: "But if you two think that you can do it better than we do, that we’re doing this whole thing wrong, that you can treat the fighters better than we do, knock yourself out.
"Go start your own business. It’s easy to do, get the warlock on it. The warlock can get it started for you.
"What you and the warlock should be focused on is your business. You’re tanking. You can’t sell pay-per-views.
"You’re calling out Jorge Masvidal because he’s a pay-per-view superstar. Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson – these are all superstars.
"You’re not. You can’t sell pay-per-views. You do whatever the hell you wanna do. I'm ready to roll buddy. I don't use cocaine. Do you use steroids? Let's do this Jake."
Paul has said he's taking a break from boxing in the new year after three fights in 2021.
He's continued to call out big names however, including unbeaten Floyd Mayweather.
