Vince McMahon and The Undertaker recently arrived in Saudi Arabia this Saturday. The two men attended the boxing match between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury. Ahead of the fight, the media interviewed McMahon and Taker. During the interview, the former confidently declared himself a better businessman than UFC CEO Dana White.
Vince McMahon and The Undertaker were interviewed by MMA Junkie ahead of the match in Saudi Arabia. The media outlet broached the subject of the UFC CEO and his equation with Vince. Answering the question, Vince revealed that the two individuals get along really well. Taker also stated that they are both very good businessmen. Vince, however, chimed in and corrected The Phenom that he is the better businessman.
Dana White recently shed light on his equation with Vince McMahon while disclosing that the two men were at loggerheads in the past. He further alleged that the 78-year-old once tried to f*** him up and gave him cheap seats at a recent WrestleMania. However, McMahon denied both claims made by the UFC CEO. He rather assured that both men are on very good terms.

Heaping praise on McMahon and White’s business acumen, The Deadman stated that both are very similar to each other. Despite the rumors of clashes between Vince McMahon and Dana White, it’s evident that both men have immense respect for each other. The two juggernauts are now working together under the same umbrella as TKO Group Holdings.

Dana White once made a shocking claim that Vince McMahon wanted to wrestle him
The hot-and-cold relationship between UFC CEO Dana White and TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon was a known secret to the world. In one of his old interviews over a decade ago, White made the shocking revelation that McMahon once offered him to fight him in the squared circle.
Speaking with the RDS media outlet in the press conference of UFC 158 via Bleacher Report, Dana White shockingly claimed that Vince McMahon once challenged him to a wrestling match in the year 2011. He said that the current Executive Chairman was quite interested in making it happen.
"Vince wanted to fight me—swear to God. He called me up, said, 'Let's do it. We can do it in the UFC, or let's do it at WrestleMania.' And I said, 'You are crazy.'"– Dana White on UFC 158 press conference
He revealed that the 78-year-old wanted to square off with him either at the UFC or at WrestleMania. It was during the time when UFC’s profits were soaring to great heights, while WWE went through a phase of business slowdown. Thus, McMahon challenging White made sense considering WWE’s situation. However, White has invariably frowned upon any sort of onscreen crossover between the UFC and WWE.
