UFC president Dana White unloads on Triller and Oscar De La Hoya


UFC president Dana White held nothing back when asked by the media to comment on Triller’s pronouncement that he prevented former UFC two-division world champion Georges St. Pierre from fighting Oscar De La Hoya in a boxing match.

“Don't even ask me about these idiots. Who gives a shit? I don't give a shit what they think. You think I care what Triller thinks? I don't even take their calls. This idiot calls me every day, text me every day,” White said in the UFC 262 post-fight press conference.

“Please answer my call, please talk to me why won't you talk to me? Because I don't give a fuck about you. Do your thing, leave me alone. Go do what it is you're doing, knock yourself out I could care less. I have no interest in talking to any of those idiots.”

Triller is responsible for putting up Mike Tyson’s ring return at 54 years old against fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. The company also hosted two fights of Jake Paul, the latest being against former MMA world champ Ben Askren last month where the Youtuber won via TKO in round one.

De La Hoya, meanwhile, also announced that his comeback at 48 years old will be hosted by Triller. He has not fought since 2009 when he took a one-sided beating from Manny Pacquiao en route to an eighth-round technical knockout.

Triller is often criticized for the quality of fights it put together and for that reason, White stressed that he wants nothing to do with the streaming company.

“What is this thing you're trying to build? What do I have to with it or my guys? You guys know they're a joke. You know this is bullshit, they are all full of shit. I don't care what they're doing, go away. Stop texting me. Stop calling me. And stop asking the media to ask me things.” — LA, GMA News
