The supremo detailed how he and the board of directors had a rough start to their plans of staging the fights. According to him, everyone believed in him at last, as he was hell-bent on doing the shows. He then answered a question about what he felt about the media looking at his decision to host shows.

“I don’t give a f*ck about media. The media are full of sh*t,” White said. “When you look at these media people, who the f*ck are they? What they have ever done?… What have these people ever built or done?”

Former UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones has been out of action for more than a year now. The UFC legend has been bulking up for a debut in the heavyweight division. But his ongoing clashes with the UFC supremo and the management over pay issues and his own interests have kept this mega move on the sidelines.

Like him, there is another fighter, who recently had some apprehensions with UFC over not booking him in a rematch for the heavyweight gold, Stipe Miocic. The fighter had even threatened to quit the promotion. But White has shed some light on both fighters’ situations.
