Throughout the rise of UFC superstar Conor McGregor, fight fans have heard the term ‘money fight’ used more and more.<\/p>\n

Now, with the term being commonplace in the MMA world, with more and more fighters calling for ‘money fights’,<\/a> UFC President Dana White has had enough. The UFC President spoke to media members, as transcribed by MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m getting tired of the term \u2018money fights,’\u201d White said on Friday. \u201c(They say), \u2018I want the money fights. I want the money fights.\u2019 What? are you all going to move down and fight Conor? Listen, there\u2019s no bones about it: Conor is the guy. Conor brings in big gates, big pay-per-view numbers and everything else. Shut up if you don\u2019t. If you\u2019re not him, shut up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys are talking about money fights, and I\u2019m like, \u2018You\u2019re not a money fight,’\u201d White said. \u201cOK? You\u2019re going to make whatever you\u2019re going to make, and if you\u2019re a good champion, your fight sells, and you\u2019re going to do pay-per-views and be part of the pay-per-view. If you\u2019re not that big pay-per-view star, shut up and fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recently, BJ Penn himself weighed-in on fighters calling for money fights, echoing a similar sentiment to UFC President Dana White as he stated:<\/p>\n

\"bj<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell you this, I\u2019m not the guy to go out there and say \u2018oh give me this money fight, give me that money fight\u2019,\u201d Penn said. \u201cI look at all these guys doing that and I\u2019m like why don\u2019t you go knock out a 100 guys and become the money fight yourself? \u2018Oh I want to fight this money fight, this money fight\u2019 \u2014 why don\u2019t you make yourself the money fight? How\u2019s about that one? Let\u2019s just start there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the only way to do it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
