– Speaking at the post-show press conference for UFC 302, Dana White was asked about working with WWE under TKO. The UFC President admitted that little has actually been done with WWE despite the merger.

He said “It’s very separate. I haven’t worked with them at all. I do what I do, and they do what they do. They’re using some of the people from my team to help them in different areas, business-wise, but as far as putting on live events, I mean, WWE is very good at what they do. And we’re very good at what we do. And yeah, that’s about as far as it goes.”
