Dana White recently discussed Nate Diazโ€™s contract situation on The Mac Life and suggested that the Stockton native should fight Jake Paul next, while taking a jab at his poor UFC record. YouTuber True Geordie found White's comments to be "distasteful" considering Daiz's contributions to the success of the promotion.

Here's what True Geordie said about the UFC president's comments during his interaction with Wade Plemons of The WADE Concept:

"Dana's going, 'Well you know, Nate's only won one fight in the last five years so maybe a Jake Paul fight does make sense.' I'm like, 'The guy was good enough for you... this guy's bled for your company and [has] been one of the backbones to build a company like the UFC.'"

The YouTuber added:

"For you [White] to just sort of spit on his record after he's been good enough for you for all these years, I thought that's distasteful."

During the conversation, True Geordie also stated that Nate Diaz played a huge part in selling pay-per-views for the promotion, especially his bouts against UFC megastar Conor McGregor.
