Dana White was hailed by Mike Tyson earlier this week for siding with the boxing legend in his feud with Hulu and the UFC boss has now explained his side of the story.<\/p>\n
Speaking in the wake of the latest edition of Dana White’s Contender series, the 53-year-old said,<\/p>\n
“We were on the verge of a deal with Hulu to promote this Mike Tyson unauthorised biography. MY head of production came to me and said ‘i’m hearing that Tyson isn’t happy about this thing. So I called Mike and I said, we’re in a deal with these guys, we have a verbal to do this deal with them. He said, ‘Dana, they’re fu***** me.’ I said, ‘I’m out then. I’ll squash this deal. So I killed the deal and I told him that it was over and that we won’t be promoting that show for Hulu and then he did what he did.”<\/p>\n
