Dana White to Fedor: ‘You wouldn’t still be fighting at 45 years old’ if you signed with UFC

Two weeks ago, touted MMA GOAT Fedor Emelianenko made some headline-grabbing statements about UFC president Dana White. “The Last Emperor” essentially expressed disgust towards White and his supposed treatment of fighters.

“Money means everything to him,” Fedor said of White. “He has no respect towards fighters, no respect for any human being. Only money and that’s all.

“There is nothing humane about him and I found that quite revolting. Money, of course, is important for living and for the family. But trading human relations for money is unacceptable.”

During the UFC 267 post-fight presser, White fired back by bringing up their past dealings while insinuating that Fedor turned down a handsome deal.
