UFC President Dana White has publicly dismissed the notion of a crossover fight between his organization and that of boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, despite their ongoing war of words. White sarcastically stated that the UFC “don’t even deserve to be on the card with a bunch of real fighters,” implying a perceived disparity in the caliber of talent or the nature of their respective sports.
This statement comes in the wake of a series of public exchanges and criticisms between the two prominent figures in combat sports. While their disagreements have fueled speculation about potential inter-promotional bouts, White’s latest comments suggest a lack of serious consideration for such a matchup from the UFC’s perspective.
White’s sentiment, expressed with a touch of irony, indicates a clear stance on the perceived standing of UFC athletes compared to those typically featured in boxing promotions. The phrase “I’m Old,” seemingly a brief, self-deprecating interjection from White, might also allude to his experience and perspective in the fight game, further reinforcing his dismissal of the Hearn-proposed scenario.
