As the FIFA World Cup 2022 is currently going on in Qatar, 32 countries are battling for glory. One of them is America. However, their journey to becoming world champions has ended today.
Team USA qualified for the round of 16 topping their group. Unfortunately, they were eliminated from the FIFA World Cup after they lost to Netherlands 1-3 today. This loss extended their 20-year-long wait to reach the quarter-finals of the men’s FIFA World cup. Amidst the sad news for America, an old video of the UFC president Dana White is making rounds on the internet.
Dana White says- ‘can’t stand soccer’
The UFC supremo during an interview was asked to share his thoughts on football. White responded by completely brutalizing the sport and also called it ‘least talented.’

He said, “Soccer? That’s a whole other ball. Can’t stand soccer. It’s the least-talented sport on Earth. There’s a reason three-year-olds can play soccer. When you’re playing a game when the net is that big and the score is 3-1 are you kidding me? You know how untalented you have to be to score three times when the net is that big?”
The American MMA promoter is majorly responsible for the massive success of the UFC. Despite his love of MMA, White is a fan of other sports like the NFL and Boxing. However, this interview proves that White might never take an interest in football.
Jake Paul takes a shot at White
The YouTuber turned boxer has a good resume under his name. However, many, including UFC stars, have accused him of fixing his fights. But now, as the UFC allegedly has a case fight fixing of their own, Paul has clapped back.
Earlier in November, coach James Krause was accused of fight-fixing and now is undergoing an investigation. Subsequently, UFC has announced that fighter training under Krause won’t be allowed to compete in the promotion.
While talking on that subject, the Ohio-based boxer targeted White and former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington on his official Twitter account. Check out the tweet above.
What are your thoughts on White’s words for football? What do you think of Paul’s tweet?
