Dana White should be worried about the growth of PFL

He believes that the PFL will become as big as the UFC, and will overtake the UFC in the future. The PFL acquired Bellator MMA, solidifying its position as the No. 2 MMA promotion behind the UFC. Bellator, founded in 2008, has grown to become one of the largest MMA promotions.

Dana White had previously ridiculed PFL, calling it an unprofitable organization that sells no tickets. White said that he hopes the merger is successful, but he doubts its long-term success.
