Conversation History
“Yeah, slightly disappointed because he hadn't spoken to me, and he was already giving updates on my health when he had no idea what got on. Yeah, so disappointed, mate, disappointed. It definitely didn't help with the cause. It definitely didn't. I've spoken to the UFC since, but not [White]. I don't really, me and dana don't speak like that anyway... I don't really have a relationship with dana. I speak to hunter [Campbell].”

“Anything is possible. I mean, anything is possible. I, you know, I don't really like looking down that far and talk about the light heavyweight champion moving up, but I don't know. We'll see how things play out at the end of this Saturday, obviously, and then [at] the end of this year as far as Pereira goes”
– Dana White, on a potential Tom Aspinall vs. Alex Pereira super fight.
“You know what I think about it, I hate that. Many friends, relatives have all fought each other before. It doesn’t determine… whether or not you’re friends with somebody or hate them, you’re competing to see who the best is. But that’s his decision. To think about even vacating him because you don’t want to compete against somebody is insane. But he’s a grown man, and it’s up to him.”
