Dana White has a long-lasting beef with business analyst Darren Rovell of Action Network HQ. They have had heat between them since 2016 when Rovell criticized the UFC president for putting then-UFC fighter Ronda Rousey in the title scene after a year of absence from the promotion.

Dana White and Darren Rovell are still on bad terms as of now. The 53-year-old promoter even took a shot at the business analyst at the post-fight press conference of UFC 269, calling him a “dipsh*t” and warning him to stay away from the UFC’s business.

The T-shirt had “What the f*** does Darren Rovell know about fighting” written on it. However, Fox was surprised to see what the T-shirt had been turned into in a recent interview.

Darren Rovell attacked Dana White many times in the past. He once even ridiculed the UFC president for selling UFC to the William Morris and International Management Group. However, Dana White hit back at the business analyst publicly and claimed that he had no idea about the fight business. It does not seem like the 53-year-old promoter is too fond of Rovell, even after so many years. We will have to wait and see if the beef takes a new turn in the future.
