UFC News: Dana White lashes out at ESPN, says shows such as "Outside the Lines" are "dirty" and don't tell the full story Jan 16, 2012 - 01:15 PM
UFC president Dana White responded to an ESPN documentary regarding fighter pay in a new video that he has released. "ESPN doesn't care about this sport," White said. "ESPN hates this sport. They won't even cover it. They don't cover the sport. They don't do the great stories about this brand and about the sport that should be done.
"They don't tell stories about the fighters. Do you ever see any in depth, great stories about great fighters on ESPN? Hell no you don't. You see this garbage Outside the Lines B.S." You can view the full video at youtube.com/watch?v=O7neKshmjz.
Powell's POV: And that was just in the first minute. White said ESPN documentary shows such as "Outside the Lines" and "E60" are "dirty" and he claimed "they lie and they never really give you all the facts." White said he didn't participate in the interview and he never will unless UFC films the full interview. Speaking of which, the entire ESPN interview with Lorenzo Fertitta is included after White's rant. For what it's worth, Vince McMahon has taken a similar approach by insisting that WWE cameras film the entire interview when he's taken part in some mainstream pieces.
