Dana White says no one is a better partner with Vince McMahon.
Over the years, WWE and the UFC have had a strenuous relationship, with the two companies clashing on several occasions. However, they have also worked out business deals in the past before the two companies were merged into the TKO Group after Endeavor purchased WWE earlier this year.
UFC President Dana White and Vince McMahon have also had a strenuous relationship over the years, with White praising McMahon as a businessman despite criticising WWE several times in the past.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Dana White commented on his relationship with McMahon now that the two are co-workers, stating that McMahon is like a different guy now they are partners.
“My history with Vince isn’t a good one. He tried to f— me so many times for no reason whatsoever except just to f— me. But that’s in the past. Now that Vince and I are allies, no one’s been a better partner than Vince,”
“Since day one of the deal, it’s like I’m dealing with a different guy. It goes to show that when you oppose him, or he thinks you are opposing him, the guy comes after you blindly. Once you are aligned, Vince is an incredible partner. We’ve probably spoken on the phone 20 times since the deal. It’s all added-value conversation–with Vince doing work and raising the bar for both companies,”
“Vince McMahon, man, he’s an absolute savage. Even with the stuff that went down with us in the past, I respect it. I love killers. He’s definitely a killer. He’s the Michael Jordan of the business world,”
Dana White
White is currently going through a tough time in terms of business, as Jon Jones was forced to withdraw from his upcoming bout with Stipe Miocic late last night.
McMahon on the other hand has found himself having his power in WWE marginalized as Triple H has took over WWE creative once again.
