‘Nothing but respect’ - Dana White lets Luke Rockhold’s media day rant slide after UFC 278 war

Luke Rockhold had very unflattering comments about the UFC and company president Dana White during UFC 278’s media day on fight week. The former middleweight champion slammed his employers about fighter pay and how the current owners let White “run the show and suppress the sport.”

“The company is f—king growing and they’re implementing other little stupidass bonuses. $5,000 here, $5,000 there … $50,000, man,” he said. “We’ve been stuck in this motherf—ker for f—king 20 f—king years. I mean, back when ‘GSP’ (Georges St-Pierre) fought Jake (Shields), what was it, $100,000? F—king there was growing.
