UFC CEO Dana White roasts PFL's Las Vegas event: 'There were more people in my f*cking green room'
UFC CEO Dana White blasts PFL's event that took place the night before UFC 300 in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS – PFL took some shots from Dana White after Saturday’s UFC 300 event.
The UFC CEO criticized the 2024 PFL 2 event, which took place Friday night at The Theater at Virgin Hotels, the day before UFC 300, a few doors down from T-Mobile Arena.
Given the star power across the entire card, the PFL event had a rough go if it wanted to rival UFC 300. The gap was wide enough for White to not even realize there was another MMA event in town until Friday night.
“You do know ‘PFLlator’ was here on Friday?” White said at the UFC 300 post-fight press conference. “Did anyone know that? You’re the media guys. I didn’t know that until f*cking Friday. They were selling tickets buy two, get two free. I’m not busting on them, that’s a f*cking fact.
“They put out a memo: Buy two, get two free. You’re having a bad f*cking week if those are the memos you’re putting out. There were more people in my f*cking green room tonight than there were at the fight.”
The card, which was headlined by Impa Kasanganay vs. Alex Polizzi, did have a promotion on the tickets, as mentioned by several fans online.
