In the present day, Dana White and Vince McMahon are essentially part of the same team. That wasn’t always the case.
“My history with Vince isn’t a good one,” White told Sports Illustrated. “He tried to f---k me so many times for no reason whatsoever except just to f---k me. But that’s in the past. Now that Vince and I are allies, no one’s been a better partner than Vince.”
The UFC and World World Wrestling Entertainment officially merged under the parent company TKO Group Holdings in September. White became UFC CEO as a result, but his duties haven’t changed significantly, while McMahon remains executive chairman of WWE. What has changed is the relationship between the two company heads.
“Since Day 1 of the deal, it’s like I’m dealing with a different guy,” White said. “It goes to show that when you oppose him, or he thinks you are opposing him, the guy comes after you blindly. Once you are aligned, Vince is an incredible partner.

Dana needs that Attitude Era rub...crucial moment in WWE history. WWE ratings were marginally lower than WCW on weekly basis. that monday night over on WCW eric bishoff was trashing WWE about how their dropout mankind was gonna win the championship on raw that was pre recorded and wasnt live, braging about how the WCW brand was better. with the free WWE promo on a live WCW program it backfired on him due to mankinds following in the hardcore wrestling scene and WCW ratings absolutely tanked. WCW lost 600k viewers in seconds and the WWE gained them all. they never recovered. WWE purchased them roughly 2-3 years later.
Dana needs that Attitude Era rub...
@Pliny Pete

Could you imagine the pop if Jon Jones smacked Dana upside the head with a medal bed pan
Michael Jordan of the business world............
So do I but Vince isn't Buffett and Barkley isn't Michael Jordan. Vince and Barkley are great but there are levels in everything.You know Buffett respects the business acumen of Vince McMahon.
