UFC President Dana White bristled during a recent interview when discussing comments by UFC middleweight contender, and former champion, Luke Rockhold. The comments from the 185 pounder, which criticized a proposed middleweight title fight with Georges St. Pierre, where clearly interpreted as misguided, entitled, complaining over other fighters being rewarded with undeserved title shots. However, from a fighter, or even a fan perspective, Rockhold makes a valid point that deserves some attention. It’s a shot across the bow of the USS busines-a-usual on the volatile sea of shareholders.
The dust-up began during a recent Fox Sports interview with the promotions president at the UFC 211 post-fight press conference.
