Dana White fired back at critics who ridiculed his previous statements about not engaging in “gimmick fights.” In a response on Instagram, he expressed his disdain for the detractors and defended his position.
“Gimmick is MMA guys going to boxing and getting beat. We have seen it already and know how it ends. This is a fight between two of the most powerful/richest guys in the world. Who will win? Who has seen this before? NOBODY.”
“It’s also a crossover fight that literally EVERYONE will watch. Don’t argue with someone like this dude. I love doing MASSIVE fights that everyone wanna see. This is the biggest one of all time. Fun s**t,” he added.
Having previously permitted Conor McGregor to step into the boxing ring against Floyd Mayweather in August 2017, Dana White is no stranger to venturing into crossover fights. However, White now considers the trend of MMA fighters crossing over into boxing, like Mayweather vs McGregor, to be overdone and lacking novelty.
Dana White further reinforced his stance in response to those expressing doubts about the proposed showdown between the tech titans.
“Then keep watching MMA vs boxer in boxing. Apparently u [sic] love those fights even though u KNOW EXACTLY who’s gonna win. All good.”
UFC 290 is set to bring back the excitement of pay-per-view action in Las Vegas, scheduled for the upcoming Saturday. The highly anticipated event will be headlined by a thrilling featherweight title unification bout featuring Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez.
