Dana White doesn’t believe there is a lot of crossover between UFC and WWE fans.
Dana White took part in a media scrum last night. When asked about UFC’s Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Epstein’s comments about turning every WWE fan into a UFC fan and every UFC fan into a WWE fan, White didn’t mix words with his blunt response.
“Lawrence, I love you. One of the dumbest statements of all time,” Dana White said. “Yeah, I don’t know why he said that. I don’t even know what to say that. No, there’s no — there’s some crossover. Some people like WWE, some people like UFC. Some people like both.
“I don’t think there’s ever going to be a day where we turn every UFC fan into a WWE fan or every WWE fan — what’s beautiful about the synergy between these two fan bases is they are very completely opposite. There’s very little crossover. And again, maybe he was misquoted. I hope that’s the case. Because I could not disagree with him more.”
