SALT LAKE CITY – Despite a few bumps in the road during fight week with him, it doesn’t sound like Dana White is interested in holding a grudge with Luke Rockhold.
Rockhold returned in the UFC 278 co-main event Saturday for his first fight in more than three years. But in the build-up to his fight with former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa, ex-champ Rockhold was critical of the UFC for fighter pay, and promotion president White in particular.
After White said in a Q&A with GQ ahead of UFC 278 that the promotion’s fighters were paid what they’re supposed to be paid, and he’s not planning pay increases under his watch, Rockhold took aim at him and said in his media day interview that White is holding the sport back.
