Dana White Responds to Demetrious Johnson’s Recent Accusations

– Dana White recently spoke with (via mmajunkie.com), here are the highlights…

On No Longer Calling Johnson The Greatest: “The media claims he’s the pound for pound best fighter in the world. I think Conor McGregor is the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world.”

On What Johnson Was Demanding: “He didn’t want (a percentage of) pay-per-view (sales),” White said. “He wanted upfront money, no pay-per-view. He wasn’t very confident in his abilities to sell pay-per-views. He has the lowest-selling pay-per-view in the history of the UFC in the modern era.”

On Not Threatening to emove The Flyweight Division: “Never once did I threaten him to shut down the division,” White said. “I told him that we had been talking about shutting down the division for years. He knows that.”
