...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
UFC President Dana White has been characterized often as vicious and blood-thirsty when it comes to competing with other organizations. He's had harsh words for numerous promotions in the past, but White recently told the media that he has no problem with the only remaining "competition" in the U.S. - Bellator Fighting Championships (transcribed by MMAJunkie.com):
"You've never heard me say anything about [Bellator]. I have no beef with them whatsoever. We're doing our thing, and they're doing their thing. I know you guys want me to say, 'Yeah, [expletive] them.' But if you look back throughout history, all these guys that people say, 'Oh, he goes out to hurt and kill all these other promotions,' I've gone after the promotions that have come after me. When you come out and talk a bunch of [expletive] about our company and how we're doing business and how you're going to take us down and beat us, now you've picked a fight. And now we're going to fight until somebody wins and somebody loses. That's the way it's traditionally gone with these other companies out there. The people from Bellator, they've never said anything about us or our business or the way we do business. And I have nothing (bad) to say about them either. They're out there doing their thing, and good for them."
