October 30, 2023 Observer Newsletter: Dana White’s comments on Vince McMahon, Jon Jones off UFC 295
Dana White talked about his relationship with Vince McMahon in a Sports Illustrated article, saying that things were never good between them but now they are great.
“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.”
White’s quotes indicated that McMahon is now involved with helping the UFC business and is not strictly working on WWE business in his Chairman of the Board of Directors position with TKO, where he’s actually above White on the corporate depth chart. UFC has been left to run itself from the sports standpoint since the Endeavor purchase but McMahon, like Ari Emanuel, who heads the big company, is involved in big-picture deal-making.
