'He's all jacked up on the yayo'- Dana White laughs off Oscar De La Hoya's fight threats

UFC President Dana White has fired back at former WBC middleweight champion Oscar De La Hoya after the boxer challenged White to a fight inside the ring.

During his appearance on the Mike Swick podcast, Dana White was asked about his reaction to De La Hoya challenging him for a bout. At first, White just made a snorting gesture with his finger and nose, referring to De La Hoya's drug issues in the past:

"He's all jacked up on the yayo...I don't know anybody who even takes that guy seriously anymore." said Dana White.

You can listen to the full conversation below:

The new chapter of the rivalry between Dana White and De La Hoya started when Ryan Kavanaugh, the CEO of the Triller promotion, claimed that the UFC president is acting as a roadblock to a potential boxing match between De La Hoya and former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St. Pierre.

Afterwards, 'The Golden Boy' himself went on social media to challenge White to a fight.

De Le Hoya's challenge to White came on the condition that if White loses, he will let GSP fight 'The Golden Boy'.

'Rush' has expressed interest in fighting the former WBC champion but, due to being under an exclusive contract with the UFC, St. Pierre needs the promotion's permission in order to make the fight happen.

The rivalry between Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya is something that all combat sports fans enjoy. The two have frequently thrown insults at each other over the years.

A couple of months ago, 'Golden Boy' announced that he will be coming out of retirement for a boxing fight.

When Dana White was asked for his reaction to this announcement, the UFC President simply said:

"Cocaine isn't cheap. It's expensive. Gotta make money."
