UFC CEO, Dana White has disagreed with all suggestions towards a UFC-WWE crossover. According to him, that’s the dumbest statement he has heard.
The UFC-WWE merger officially took effective with the announcement of the TKO sports entertainment company on Tuesday (September 12).
During the post-fight press conference for Dana White’s Contender Series 62, Dana talked about the promotion and expressed his disgust with the crossover suggestion.
White believes the formation of TKO will make Endeavor a true sports and entertainment powerhouse. But he wants money to be put differently into both sports.
“I don’t know why he said that,” White said. “I don’t even know what to say to that. No, there’s no – there’s some crossover. Some people like WWE, some people like UFC, some like both. I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a day where we turn every UFC fan into a WWE fan or every WWE fan into a UFC fan.”
“What’s beautiful about the synergy between these two fanbases is they are very completely opposite,” White said. “There’s very little crossover. Maybe he was misquoted. I hope that’s the case, because I could not disagree with him more.”
