Dana White on tough negotiations with Masvidal: ‘He’s very much like the Diaz brothers’

Dana White is currently in the midst of a public contract dispute with UFC ‘BMF’ champ Jorge Masvidal, with White comparing ‘Gamebred’ to the notoriously difficult to work with Diaz brothers.

Masvidal was expected to challenge Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title earlier this year, but the American Top Team (ATT) product wasn’t happy with his purported salary for the matchup, comparing the UFC’s business model to a totalitarian ‘communist regime’.

White wasn’t particularly surprised by Masvidal’s comments and wants the UFC veteran to know that he holds no animosity towards him — even if he does negotiate like a Diaz brother.
