5 biggest Dana White rants

#2. Dana White challenges Jake Paul to fight Anderson Silva

Jake Paul v Tyron Woodley

Dana White does not like the way Jake Paul picks smaller, older and washed-up opponents.

Speaking about how Anderson Silva is in the GOAT conversation of combat sports, White invited Jake Paul to fight 'The Spider.'

Anderson Silva reigned in the UFC middleweight division for nearly a decade. Since leaving the MMA promotion, he has returned to the squared circle. He defeated Julio Chavez Jr. and, more recently, Tito Ortiz. Dana White said that Jake Paul would be scared to fight a more talented boxer of his own size.

"I f***ing guarantee you this, you ain't going to see Jake Paul calling Anderson Silva out. That I f***ing promise you. He's his size and he's actually good. He's old, which is what Jake Paul likes, to fight old guys that are too small and that are absolutely positively washed up."

#1. Dana White's rant against Ariel Helwani

Jake Paul v Tyron Woodley - Weigh In - Ariel Helwani interviews Woodley

Ariel Helwani was banned from covering UFC events in 2016. Often known as one of the premier MMA journalists, Helwani leaked the announcement of Brock Lesnar's return mere hours before the UFC.

Dana White has since gone out of his way to rant about Ariel Helwani and his alleged unfair practices.

Their rivalry has often made headlines, sometimes even shadowing UFC events. Helwani was also barred from covering the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing fight at Dana White's request.

Explaining why he banned Ariel Helwani from the UFC, Dana White said:

"It's getting worse and worse. It's like with this whole Ariel Helwani thing, it's more about 'oh, what can I sneak in and get out, steal from the fans', you the excitement and enjoyment of the fans seeing it when it comes out, instead of actually doing some real journalism."
