Dana White Spoils a Future Match With Vince McMahon While Clearing the Air About Their Personal Relationship at the UFC 295 Press Conference

Ever since Endeavor took over WWE and UFC, fans have been assuming that Dana White and Vince McMahon are still at loggerheads with each other. But at the post-match conference of UFC 295, White took the opportunity to make it clear that he and Vince McMahon have buried the hatchet.

Now that these two business heavyweights are working together, they are a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Dana White calls Vince McMahon his ?buddy?

Vince McMahon’s ruthless aggression is what has made WWE the global phenomenon that it is today. He has left no stone unturned in making WWE the top promotion in the pro wrestling business by taking out competitors like WCW and ECW in the early 2000s. And if things continue the same way, Tony Khan’s AEW might suffer the same fate.

At the post-match conference of UFC 295, White was asked by a reporter, ?So you are saying there is not going to be a battle of the billionaires 2 between Dana White and Vince McMahon?”. To which White replied with a big smile and a huge sigh of relief, ?It’s all over, we are buddies now”. Because no one would ever want to be at the receiving end of Vince McMahon?s aggression.

Dana White is well aware of McMahon?s desire to be at the top as far as wrestling and combat sports are concerned. In the past both these juggernauts have had their indifferences but post the Endeavor deal, things seem to have completely changed.

Vince McMahon helped UFC secure a Saudi Arabian Deal

WWE has been tasting quite a lot of success in Saudi Arabia. This was quite evident from the recent PLE Crown Jewel that took place in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. All this is part of a 10-year partnership between the WWE and Saudi Arabia in support of Saudi Vision 2030.

Needless to say, in the 6 years of its partnership, Vince McMahon has made many friends in the Kingdom. And it?s these exact connections that McMahon used to secure a deal for UFC in Saudi Arabia. UFC is now all set for its first ever show in Saudi Arabia next year, as part of the Riyadh Season.

And Dana White gave due credit to McMahon for securing the Saudi deal. He said, ?It was Vince McMahon (who arranged UFC?s Saudi deal). It was 100 percent Vince McMahon. He made every call, he didn?t make one move without picking up the phone and calling me, and getting me in the loop, and seeing if I was cool with this and that. And he went from being, oddly enough, I don?t know why, an enemy (of UFC?s), to being an unbelievable, incredible partner?. We will only have to wait and watch to see what more these sports entertainment juggernauts can achieve with their combined might. But what are your thoughts on Vince McMahon and Dana White burying the hatchet?
