Dana White was in unusually high spirits following what was a magnificent night of fights at UFC 327.
The premier MMA promotion returned to Miami on Saturday for UFC 327, and Dana White took in the majority of fights with Donald Trump by his side.
In high spirits after an incredible night of action, White went backstage following the event to answer questions from the media.
And as he has done in most of White’s interactions with the media over the past few months, rival boxing promoter Eddie Hearn was one of the topics of conversation.
Dana White reveals Turki Alalshikh made an offer for Eddie Hearn fight
Since his moving into boxing with Zuffa Boxing, White and Hearn’s relationship has hit rock bottom, which is a major switch from their friendship.
Things turned bitter when White signed Conor Benn to Zuffa for $15 million, taking one of Hearn’s hottest and most loyal commodities.
Hearn then hit back by signing UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall to his new management agency, and he will now be managing the Brit’s career.
That resulted in the two taking several shots at each other in the media, and it even subsequently led to the pair talking about a potential boxing match against each other.
And during the UFC 327 post-fight press conference, White continued his tirade of Hearn and even revealed that he was offered the fight by Turki Alalshikh.
“Eddie Hearn’s a p—-, Eddie Hearn ain’t boxing anybody, f—— posting pictures of himself hitting the speed bag, it looks like it’s in slow motion,” White began.
“And let me tell you what, if that did happen, me and Eddie Hearn are bums, that would be the first fight of the night, these guys are talking like we’re gonna headline a card.
“You don’t think Turki would try to do that fight. Of course he did (make me an offer), people are throwing around offers everywhere,” he continued.
The aforementioned Benn fought his one fight on his Zuffa contract this past Saturday against Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov.
The Brit was taken the distance where he picked up the decision win in what was a largely uneventful fight.
It is unclear as of now whether Zuffa are looking to continue working with Benn or if ‘The Destroyer’ will now be a free agent.
