Dana White scoffs at Vince McMahon’s shot at UFC – UFC News
President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship Dana White is in utter shock learning that CEO and Chairman of the Executive Committee of professional wrestling promotion WWE Vince McMahon has taken a mean shot at UFC.
White insists he shares a smooth relationship with Vince and that he admires Vince’s business skills. According to White, WWE’s, which is run by Vince McMahon, garners ‘killer ratings on TV’. However, White assures that he has no interest in making UFC stand
as a competitor for the WWE, as both the businesses are poles apart.
“Vince keeps talking sh*t about us and I don't know why. I don't know why he is talking sh*t about us. I mean there is a lot of things I could say about the WWE, but I would never. I don't know. I don't know why he is trying to kick us in the balls. I like
Vince. I have a good relationship with Vince. I think it is in his nature as a competitor, as a human being, it's the way Vince is built. You know?” said White in an interview with Ariel Helwani to MMAFighting.com.
“I don't think there is anything for him to be threatened by. We are two completely different businesses. Shots I take at boxing are shots that need to be taken,” he added.
White adds that there is nothing Vince should be afraid of when it comes to the UFC. According to him, UFC and WWE are two very different businesses with contrasting goals to achieve.
White does admit that he takes mean shots at boxing every now and then, believing that the sport has been ‘messed up’ recently. The President of UFC, who claims to be an avid boxing fan, assures he only pin points the sport for its betterment, and not to
attract attention of users.
As of now, it seems like Vince McMahon is being intimated by the increasing popularity of UFC. A couple of stars have left the WWE for UFC, including but not limited to WWE’s icon Brock Lesnar who once was considered the face of the organisation.
