Bellator president Scott Coker didn't reveal much on how he came to sign Rumble, and White was reluctant to share, too.
“Listen, we love the guy,” White told reporters. “I have a great relationship with him, I’ve always liked him, never had any problems with him other than some weight cutting issues back at 170 (pounds). He’s a great guy, we love him, we’d love to have him here, but it’s probably better for him to go somewhere else.”
When pushed for more information on the topic, White refused to share additional details. He said those are questions for Johnson himself to answer.
“He does want to be with the UFC,” White said. “It just didn’t work out. Ask him. That’s his business, not mine.”
