After a very lengthy, and very public feud, UFC President Dana White and UFC flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson have buried the hatchet. <\/p>\n

The pair’s feud started quite some time ago, after Johnson apparently agreed to fight Ray Borg<\/a>. Despite the agreement, the UFC began to pressure Johnson to accept a fight with former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw. This led to a very public spat with Dana White<\/a>, that resulted in both sides hurling verbal insults at one another through interviews and social media posts. <\/p>\n

\"Demetrious<\/p>\n

That has now changed, as the Champ’s manager has revealed on The MMA Hour<\/a> that his client and the UFC President have buried the hatchet:<\/p>\n

“They buried the hatchet,\u201d he said. \u201cDana told DJ how he felt about some stuff and DJ told Dana how he felt about some stuff. They buried the hatchet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of misunderstanding and miscommunication. There were are a lot of different parties involved, I thought I would bring the two of them together and get this thing right.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt worked well. I\u2019m expecting this to work out in DJ\u2019s favor in the long run. I think he will be very happy and I think UFC will be very happy with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt went great\u2026it went well,\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cDJ fights on Sept. 9 against Ray Borg, he\u2019ll break the (UFC title defense) record and then we\u2019ll move onto something else and try to get him into some big fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to make the right moves for DJ and help DJ reach the goals that he wants to reach\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Demetrious<\/p>\n

As mentioned, Johnson is currently gearing up for his UFC 215 showdown with Ray Borg<\/a> on September 9th, where he will look to set the title defense record.<\/p>\n
