Dana White has mentioned many times that Vince McMahon has often played hardball with him. However, the former WWE chairman-CEO refuted that. He claimed that he chooses to adopt a tougher approach if people try to get in his way. Otherwise, he does not necessarily attend to his business in that manner.

“Please, I don’t do business that way. I don’t bust anybody’s chops unless they get in the way,” said McMahon. He also mentioned that he and Dana White have established a healthy relationship and that the UFC CEO is a rather nice individual. McMahon further added, “Dana and I get along very, very well. He’s really a good guy.”

Additionally, McMahon also mentioned that they grew up with each other as partners after the UFC-WWE merger. He praised Dana White’s business skills while mentioning that good businessmen get along fairly easily. “We’re good partners and good businessmen. You’re good businessmen, you get along,” said the 78-year-old. He even addressed another rumor regarding an incident with White.

Ronda Rousey made her WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34. Moreover, she even invited her former employer, Dana White, to be present at the event. The 54-year-old claimed that the seats he got were not up to the mark. However, Vince McMahon denied that rumor. “No, no, no. Not at all [on giving Dana White cheap WrestleMania seats],” he further stated. Not only that, but The Undertaker also gave his take on the McMahon and White working together under one umbrella organization.
