The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president has many duties. Among them, the president often finds himself diplomatically dealing with some of the promotion’s top competitors. Right now, UFC President Dana White and UFC flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson are not on great terms.
After feeling pressured into accepting an offer to face former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw, “Mighty Mouse” decided to let his opinion of the UFC president be known.
Now, Dana White has come forward with his thoughts on the situation. In an interview, as heard in the video below, Dana White explained that he does not believe he is bullying the fighter.
“He (Demetrious Johnson) didn’t want pay-per-view. He wasn’t very confident in his abilities to sell pay-per-views. He has the lowest selling pay-per-view in the history of the UFC in the modern era. I think that a fight between him and T.J. Dillashaw would be something that people would actually be interested in and could sell pay-per-views and could make money. But, he absolutely refuses to fight the guy. I’m bullying you? How do you bully the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world?” White said.
