Speaking to ESPN, Dana White revealed that he is already setting things in motion to get Zuffa boxing inside the squared circle.
“I had a meeting in LA yesterday. We are continuing to move forward, and we will absolutely, positively be in the boxing business.”
“Soon. I just bought the building next door here. We’re building a $12 million facility. We’ll basically have our own arena. We’ll be able to put fights right here next door and air them live anywhere in the world. I can do MMA fights, I can do boxing, I can do kickboxing, I can do jiu-jitsu, I can do all kinds of different fights and tournaments. We’re going to do a lot of things.”
“If you know how I run my business and what I like, yes I want all the best boxers in the world. I want them all to fight each other and find out who the real champ is. That’s what we’re going to do.”
