Right back at ya!
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White said he would be ready to attack the "hack jobs" at ESPN and he wasn't kidding.
In response to ESPN's "Outside The Lines" interview with UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta, in which he was grilled about the always hot topic that is fighter pay and whether or not the UFC is a monopoly, company President Dana White tweeted this video via his official Twitter account of a clip that was not aired during the ESPN version of the interview.
In the clip, Fertitta defends his fighter pay scale and turns the tables on reporter John Barr, questioning him about the low pay some boxers receive to compete on ESPN boxing events.
It will be very interesting to see the UFC's full version of the interview which Dana White said he would air very soon. You didn't think Fertitta and company were going to sit their with their arms crossed and do nothing, did you?
Check out the clip after the jump.
