UFC: Dana White confirms ‘Neanderthals’ Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal set for Las Vegas in July
- UFC president Dana White vents at welterweights Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal after altercation at Super Bowl event
- White says the pair will fight on International Fight Week pay-per-view in Las Vegas in July
“I don’t love it. People think that because I’m a promoter I’m like ‘cha-ching’, but it’s not great for us,” White said on The Will Cain Show.
“We’re here at the Super Bowl – the NFL – and these two are acting like Neanderthals in here. The problem is, the people who are working in the media, it scares people like this. That’s a scary thing when that goes down.
“If they touch each other, now the police get involved,” White continued. “We’re regulated by the government, now the athletic commissions are getting involved
“Those two are going to fight in Las Vegas, International Fight Week weekend. For 25 minutes they can do whatever they want to each other. You don’t have to do it at Radio Row at the Super Bowl.”
The 32-year-old Usman, who defended his title against contender Colby Covington in December last year, is recovering from a ligament injury in his hand.
