Dana White denies report claiming the UFC is for sale: 'The ESPN story is overblown'

[Zarra]

According to UFC president Dana White, there is no truth to the matter. The brash talking executive shut down the said report in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, where he also ripped on both Rovell and ESPN.

"The UFC is not for sale. The ESPN story is overblown. Darren Rovell is not a fan of facts. His facts could not be further off."

Overblown? So it's not entirely false?

Knowing Dana, he might say this up until the moment the deal is signed.

ah... Dana...

 

[MisdemeanorMMA]

I don't believe anything he says. I hope they are selling.

 

[FleximusPrime]

Theres no smoke without fire.

Dana may not be told until the deal is signed, just saying he probably doesn't have too much input into major business decisions.

I don't understand this whining about Dana probably lying. It's a private business and business decision, why on earth would he tell this kind of information into public until it's a done deal?

Knowing Dana, he might say this up until the moment the deal is signed.

So would any other ceo.

 

[nick1990]

So I'm guessing Dana would take his chuck of the money and be replaced? or would he continue in his role?

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

Well then nothing more to discuss

 

[wake_me]

Overblown? So it's not entirely false?

Well there have been rumours for years now.

Not necessarily. They might also stay silent or attempt to generate more interest.

It's probably one the most underated movies of all time, its ingenuously made.
