The fighters in the UFC are treated very well.
— Dana White
Since the beginning of time people have said mean things to each other in a fight, no matter what.
If you're not that big pay-per-view star, shut up and fight.
Conor McGregor has that fight anybody, anywhere attitude but doesn't just have the attitude, he lives it.
I hate Showtime, I can't stand those guys.
I'm not a political guy at all, not even a little bit.
At the end of the day, when you're dealing with heavyweights who can punch, anything is possible. When you've got a big heavyweight who has knockout power, anything's possible.
The reality is this: Fighting isn't a team sport; it's an individual's sport.
Listen, I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again.
You can't force fighters to fight.
We make dream fights all the time.
We're going to continue to go into markets that we've never been in, continue to grow the sport, continue to cultivate talent and the whole landscape of television is changing and I feel like we're ahead of the curve on that, too.
The amount of negativity I hear on a daily basis is unbelievable. But that's the kind of stuff you have to tune out, focus, stick with your vision and keep plugging every day.
If you get into something that you're passionate about, and if you really believe in it, you gotta get up every day and fight.
Nothing comes easy. Success doesn't just drop on your lap. You have to go out and fight for it every day.
I'm a loyal person, man, and people who have been good to me in my life, I don't forget and I stand by them.
As an American, you can do whatever you want to do, and you can choose whatever side you want to be on.
I like Mark Hunt and I've always said good things about Mark Hunt. He goes a little bit off the rails every now and again, but I've never done anything but respect Mark Hunt.
Whether boxing is fixable or not remains to be seen. I'm going to give it a shot.
I like to have my Pinkberry. I have this one store in midtown Manhattan that will stay open for me late.
Listen, everybody thinks I'm a Republican, but I'm not a Republican.
I saw 'Boogie Nights' more times before the movie came out than any other movie I had ever seen.
Everything that ever happened to me in my career, Trump was the first guy to pick up the phone and reach out to me.
When you talk about somebody being your world champion, you couldn't ask for a better human being than Daniel Cormier.
I'm nice to everybody, I respect other people. If you respect me, I respect you.
We put on fights between the best fighters; we don't put on freak shows.
Different people respond differently to head trauma than others.
I love to win.
If a rating is bad in another sport, do you see a writer say, 'This sport's over?' No.
I have the vision for where the sport is gonna go and what we're gonna do and the different types of fights.
I love doing things that people say can't be done.
The thing where I've always been lucky is, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
You'll never hear me say a negative thing about Donald Trump.
Whoever you are, this is America. You can believe or do whatever you want.
Outdoor stadiums scare me to death.
You always think as an organization, obviously if you're in sports, you want to be with ESPN. ESPN is it. But you don't really realize how good ESPN is and how big their platform really is until you're in it.
This country has been very good to us, every time we have a fight in the UFC it's incredible here in Australia and we want to go everywhere. We want to travel everywhere and continue to do fights all over the country.
There's a little bit of me that's Republican, and there's a little bit of me that's Democratic. I believe in taking care of people that don't have, I believe in taking care of the planet, you know, all that type of stuff.
There are things that some Democrats say I agree with and some things that I disagree with. And it's the same with the Republicans.
Look at what George Foreman did to Michael Moorer. No matter his age, he hits so hard that he's always in a fight.
I think Cormier's one of the greatest to ever do it. Two-time, two-division world champion.
We're all entitled to make mistakes. I'm not one of these guys where if you make a mistake, I'm gonna try to tear your life down and burn it to the ground.
I like guys to stay at their weight classes and dominate. I don't want guys moving up and down.
Boxing is very one dimensional. You can hit to the head, you can hit to the body. As soon as two guys get into a clinch, you're separated.
I'd rather have too many good guys than not enough. It's a nice problem. They sort themselves out because when guys fight each other, they determine who deserves the title shot, not me.
When you have a concept and a sport like this, you have to have a vision.
The absolute worst part of my job is having to cut people. I have to cut people after every show, that's just how it goes. But I don't judge you on wins and losses. What I do care about is a great fight.
Anything can be changed. Anything can be fixed. Things that are broken can be fixed. And you don't have to be some billionaire or millionaire to do it. You just have to be a person with a vision and the passion to do it, and be willing to fight for it every day.
Let me tell you what, reality is better than any script you could ever write.
I've been in the fight business my whole life. I know fighters.
