Dana White's one-liner about PFL—Is he right, or just stirring the pot?

Dana White has seldom failed to trash his competitions. This time around, it was the PFL in the UFC head honcho’s crosshairs. The internet has begun to buzz with the news of Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori getting into a fight at a PFL event, wherein, Vettori sent Allen stumbling down. Needless to say, the altercation garnered quite a bit of attention.

But when the UFC CEO stumbled upon the news, he couldn’t keep his snide remarks to himself. Just like he has done on several occasions, White dissed at the MMA promotion on social media. Let’s see what White had to say about the scuffle.

The famed journalist took to X and provided the fighting world with an update about the altercation between Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori at PFL. He wrote, “Okay, here’s an update to the Brendan Allen/Marvin Verttori brawl at PFL, per numerous sources. After PFL, Vettori tried to swing at Tuco Tokkos and missed. Michael Johnson then moved everyone out of the way and then Brendan Allen stepped in and hit Vettori with a 1-2 which made him fall into a roulette tabl

Soon, a fight fan took to the comments section and pointed out that Vettori and Allen weren’t the only ones who got into trouble in one night. Merab Dvalishvili was also one of the fighters who faced a bit of issues. The fan continued, “There’s definitely a company wide email going out tomorrow at the UFC.”

However, the UFC head honcho wasn’t someone who kept quiet. White took to the comments and made a snide remark about the Professional Fighters League. He wrote, “Had to be fight of the night if it was at PFL.”

Have an interesting take?

If you have been following the Ultimate Fighting Championship religiously, you must know that the UFC CEO doesn’t like his competition at all. There are multiple instances where he humiliated other MMA promotions like Bellator FC.

Needless to say, UFC 300 was one of the most successful events in the history of the organization. But during the press conference, when a reporter pointed out that Bellator and PFL had an event in Hawaii, White simply couldn’t keep it in. He indeed sent forth a cheeky response to the reporter.

White responded, “Put on a f****** fight in the parking lot. “Dude, I can’t believe you just said that. You know ‘PFL-ator’ was here on Friday? Did anybody know that? I didn’t know until f****** Friday!” The UFC head honcho seemed to believe that there was no comparison between the UFC and any other MMA promotion. No doubt, White is the major force that took the UFC to great heights and put mixed martial arts on the map. However, his views on the other MMA promotions garnered nothing but severe backlash from the fighting community.
