Stipe Miocic and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White have a meeting planned, but Miocic will take a step in White’s shoes as the mediator for the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley weigh-in.
Paul vs. Woodley will headline Showtime Boxing’s pay-per-view event (PPV) on Aug. 29, 2021 (also streaming on FITE) inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Miocic — like Paul — is a resident of Cleveland. The former UFC Heavyweight champion told ESPN’s Marc Raimondi he would play the role of “Dana White” at Saturday’s weigh-in.

LIVE! Stream ‘Paul Vs. Woodley’ On PPV
Watch the most talked about combat sporting event of the summer, a battle between renowned YouTube content creator and undefeated professional boxer, Jake “The Problem Child” Paul, locking horns with former UFC champion, Tyron “The Chosen One” Woodley, on Sun., Aug. 29, 2021, streaming online via pay-per-view (PPV). “Paul vs. Woodley,” which will take place inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, start time is slated for 8 p.m. ET, with a PPV price tag of $59.99.
“Stipe Miocic tells me he’s going to be the ‘Dana White’ of the Paul vs. Woodley weigh-ins Saturday here in Cleveland, standing between the fighters and making sure ‘no one does anything frisky,’” Raimondi wrote.
Typically, the UFC boss stands in between fighters at face-offs and weigh-ins to make sure no one gets physical (with mixed success).
Miocic (20-4) has not competed since losing his title via second-round knockout to Francis Ngannou (16-3) at UFC 260, which took place inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 27, 2021 (watch highlights).
