WWE and the UFC have officially merged into the TKO Group Holdings company following Endeavor’s acquisition of WWE, with Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, and Triple H staying on board with the company.
UFC President Dana White is now working under the same banner as those in WWE, including McMahon. He has given a new insight into McMahon and another layer in their relationship.
While speaking with Sports Illustrated, White spoke about his past history with McMahon.
“My history with Vince isn’t a good one,” said White. “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 stated that he’s grateful to work with McMahon, who is now a different guy than who he is used to dealing with.
“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. Triple H and Stephanie have always been great to work with,” said White. “I’ve always had a great relationship with them, always, even when we weren’t aligned back in the day. But the most amazing story is the relationship with Vince McMahon.”
White praised McMahon for being what he compared to the Michael Jordan of the business world and respected him for being a savage and killer when conducting business.
