Additionally, he continued, “But now you know why Endeavor didn’t comment on Dana White. Now you know. They couldn’t have two of them in a cage while the deal was being done. Because the deal wasn’t done yesterday.”

Le Batard also stated that the deal makers couldn’t afford to jeopardize the $9 billion deal. This statement comes after the giant deal was signed which saw WWE merged with UFC and Endeavor.

Dan Le Batard spoke about the controversial allegations against WWE’s Vince McMahon and UFC’s Dana White

The former ESPN writer claimed that the merger will be a profitable one. However, there was a hint of taunt and sarcasm in his statements. He stated that the fighters and performers of UFC and WWE work hard “using their actual body”. Meanwhile, the bosses earn loads of money “without consequences”. 

He also called out the fans that are unbothered by what happens behind the scenes. Le Batard will be tuning in for the UFC 287 event in Miami on Saturday.

Stugotz also added his take, “What’s happening at the top of that company, and what the men at the top of that company are accused of doing, and how they cash in any way because there are no consequences for them. Whether it’s rape allegations or video of you hitting your wife in public.”
