After a few minutes, another reporter asked the UFC president about his views on the upcoming Paul vs Diaz fight. White then openly expressed that he did not have any interest in talking about the fight. He even took shots at boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya. Things between Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya have not been good for a long time, and White has never backed away from criticizing him.

“I don’t want to sh*t on other people’s fights like Oscar De La weirdo. I don’t want to talk about the fight. First of all, neither guy is my guy. There is no need for me to comment on it. I wish him the best. I hope they make a zillion dollars,” said White.
