Jake Paul's manager and MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian recently responded to Dana White's comments on the ex-Disney star's upcoming fight against Anthony Joshua. Paul and Joshua are set to throw down in a professional heavyweight boxing match on Dec.19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.Given the tumultuous relationship between White and Paul, it's no surprise that the UFC CEO called the fight "a bad idea" and predicted that many would tune in to watch the Englishman secure a decisive knockout victory over the YouTuber-turned-boxer. During the UFC 322 presser, White addressed the Joshua-Paul fight and said:"That’s a bad idea. But let me tell you what, a lot of people will watch that one... You know what everyone’s tuning in for on that one. And I think everyone’s going to get what they’ve finally been waiting for." [H/t: USA Today]In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Bidarian fired back at White and dismissed the UFC CEO's initial claims about not being aware of the Joshua-Paul fight. He said:"To say [White] wasn't aware of it is a blatant lie. Dana lies on a frequent basis, so it doesn't surprise me. I know for a fact that TKO was aware of this event, of the discussions, of the conclusion, and that it was going to be announced."He also claimed that the UFC warned fighters against working with Paul and continued:"Dana White pays attention to every single thing that Jake Paul does, whether he wants to admit it or not. He pays attention to it so much that there are fighters out there who have guidance from the UFC that says, 'Hey, if you fight with MVP or Jake Paul, you’re not welcome here anymore. You can’t come back, you can’t use the [Performance Institute], and you won’t be considered for future fights.' That’s the reality of how deeply angered they are with what we've been able to do."Anthony Joshua outlines bold prediction for Jake Paul fightAnthony Joshua recently shared his thoughts on his upcoming Jake Paul fight and issued an ice-cold prediction.
