RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – It sounds like Vince McMahon doesn’t feel the same way as Dana White about their past.
In September, the UFC and WWE merged to form TKO, a new publicly traded company that houses the two brands. White and McMahon are now business partners under the same parent company WME, although the UFC CEO says there will be no crossover between their two brands.
In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, White said things weren’t always cordial with McMahon.
“My history with Vince isn’t a good one,” White said. “He tried to fck me so many times for no reason whatsoever except just to fck me. But that’s in the past. Now that Vince and I are allies, no one’s been a better partner than Vince.”
When asked about White’s comments, McMahon appeared to deny any bad blood.
“Busting his chops? Please, I don’t do business that way,” McMahon told MMA Junkie on his way into Tyson Fury’s boxing match with Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia. “I don’t bust anybody’s chops unless they get in the way. Dana and I get along very, very well. He’s really a good guy. We’re good partners and good businessmen. (If) you’re good businessmen, you get along.”
McMahon also laughed off a question about whether or not he gave White cheap seats for WrestleMania, and closed off the interview with some banter with former WWE superstar “The Undertaker,” who said he finds McMahon’s relationship with White to be “hilarious.”
“He’s a tough guy. … I’m a better businessman,” McMahon said.

True that solid point actually. Hope all is well with you HKP!
I will say that a lot of the office executives tend to pollinate between the two companies
Vince is NOT an easy person to do business with
- if you look at the independent promotions that used to be direct feeder organizations for Vince ALL of them went out of business other than OVW
Al Snow owns the Ohio Vally Wrestling organization and had he not taken on investors he would be done as well

“Dana White has always been my friend” - Vince McMahon.

Well, if Vince is the one playing hard ball and bully, of course he doesn’t see it as an issue ha ha. The ones getting dealt that way remember, not the ones doing it. Just look at international politics. We recall all the wrongs done to us. Just think of all you ex GFs ha ha. We barely dwell on the wrongs we have done. Even if we acknowledge some of them, it’s on a rational level, while the wrongs done to us we FEEL on an emotional level.
Dana once talked about going to Wrestlemania to see Ronda wrestle and Vince “fucked with him” by putting him a couple rows back in the crowd or something … as if his seat was foremost on the mind of Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania 
Dana kisses ass and parades around celebrities who show up to UFC and it sounded like he expected Vince to do that for him.
