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.”

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.
