Dana White Slams Oscar De La Hoya For Letting Chuck Liddell Fight Tito Ortiz

Dana White went off on Oscar De La Hoya on UFC Unfiltered for allowing Chuck Liddell to fight Tito Ortiz at Golden Boy MMA’s inaugural event. According to TMZ, White said that De La Hoya — the head of Golden Boy Promotions — was irresponsible in allowing Liddell to fight. The UFC Hall of Famer lost to Ortiz via first-round knockout.

“I love Chuck Liddell and I don’t ever want to bad mouth Chuck Liddell,” White said. “People even think I’m remotely bad mouthing Chuck Liddell, but the reality is — first of all, I heard last week the cokehead Oscar De La Weirdo is talking s**t that I don’t have any place to tell guys when to retire.”

White continued, “First of all, it’s called ‘friendship’ you f**king cokehead. I’ve been friends with Chuck Liddell for 20 years and the reality is that Chuck Liddell retired when he should have retired. Eight, nine years ago, however long it was. And, Chuck Liddell’s almost fifty years old and has no business fighting anymore. The fact that the state of California even let that fight happen is disgusting. Disgusting.”

He added, “Chuck Liddell has an incredible legacy. He’s a huge superstar in this sport, so of course as a friend, anybody who claims to be a friend of Chuck Liddell and was anywhere near this fight is full of sh*t. They’re not a friend of Chuck Liddell. To let him go in and fight this fight is terrible.”
