Dana White reveals that in the past, Vince McMahon kept a TV Deal between NBC and UFC from going through
WWE and UFC are now part of the TKO family after Endeavor acquired WWE earlier this year, bringing UFC's Dana White and WWE's Vince McMahon under the same larger umbrella. White and McMahon have a long history, and while things are amicable now, it wasn't always that way.
"Lorenzo and I flew out to Connecticut, sat down with him, we do all the small talk, 'We're doing a deal with NBC.' Vince sits back like Vince sits. 'We're about to do this deal, we're about to have fights on NBC and everything else, but you need to sign off on it.' Vince says, 'Yeah, I'm not going to do that.' We're like, 'Why?' 'Eh, I'm just not interested in it. I don't like the idea of you guys being on USA Network.
Things have obviously changed quite a bit since then, and White was nothing but complimentary of working with him now."Now, Vince and I are in business together, and Vince couldn't be a better partner now. Now, Vince has been an incredible partner. Literally keeps me in the loop with everything going on, making sure I'm cool with decisions that could affect the UFC," White said.
