Despite a Bad “History”, UFC President Dana White Praises New Business Partner Vince McMahon: “Michael Jordan of the Business World”

During his time as the CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon made a number of rivals in the business world. Because of his competitive personality, he didn’t want much competition around him. This also made him stand against Dana White, the President of UFC. But now that both of them are working for the same parent company, White revealed his thoughts on McMahon.

What started as a rivalry between the two has now ended up becoming a friendly union because of the WWE-Endeavor merger. White revealed his honest thoughts about the former WWE CEO in a recent interview.

Dana White likes Vince McMahon as a businessman

Although both UFC and WWE lie on a different plane of sports, McMahon still considered the MMA promotion a ‘competition’. So, like a usual businessman, McMahon wanted his company to do better than the UFC. As competitors, they have had a bad past. White even confessed it by saying, “My history with Vince isn’t a good one.” But things seem to be different now that they are partners.

While talking to Fan Nation, White couldn’t stop talking about his new co-worker at TKO. So, after he mentioned the rivalry they had in the past, he also talked about the pros of joining the same workforce as him.

Dana White opened up by saying, “Vince McMahon, man, he’s an absolute savage.” Then, to keep their business spirits intact, he also confessed, “Even with the stuff that went down with us in the past, I respect it. I love killers. He’s definitely a killer. He’s the Michael Jordan of the business world.”

By the ‘Michael Jordan’ reference, White probably refers to the fact that McMahon is a professional in his line of work and is definitely someone who is at the top of the business.

Despite the fact that the UFC President has grown to like McMahon as a business partner, the latter’s days in TKO might be limited. This is because of the few signs that are before us.

Dana White might have to bid Vince McMahon farewell soon

Soon after the companies were merged together to form TKO, McMahon was given the post of Executive Chairman. However, in a regulatory report, the board staff of the $21.4 billion company stated McMahon was a threat to the company due to his risky ventures.

Secondly, there were also reports and rumors about how TKO has ‘knighted’ Triple H as the sole caretaker for the creatives at WWE. Although Vince McMahon would still be allowed to suggest his ideas, Paul Levesque is the one completely in charge as Endeavor doesn’t want McMahon to book anymore.

Lastly, McMahon was also considered partly responsible for a major stock loss that TKO faced recently.

Could Dana White and Vince McMahon’s newfound friendship be close to an end soon? Or do you think their business partnership is just beginning?
