Dana White spoke on the Real Quick podcast and reacted to comments made by boxing ace Oscar De La Hoya. The former Olympian boxer had some unpleasant things to say about White when the UFC President shot down De La Hoya’s request. Oscar De La Hoya wanted to battle Georges St-Pierre; however, White made sure that contractually, that fight wouldn’t happen.

Oscar De La Hoya wasn’t too pleased to learn that Dana White had prevented the contractual release of Georges St-Pierre. He then turned his attention towards White and challenged him to a boxing match. Mick Swick asked White about his candid reaction to the aforementioned events and the UFC President didn’t disappoint.
