LAS VEGAS – Dana White doesn’t necessarily want one of his biggest competitors in the MMA space to go away.
Amid rumors of Bellator MMA’s doors soon shutting, the UFC CEO has previously made definitive statements about his interest, or lack thereof, in purchasing the company. However, White admits that while he doesn’t want to buy the brand, he doesn’t want it to go away either.
In recent months, multiple rumors have been flying around, ranging from a sale of the company to a merger with PFL to an outright shutdown of all operations. Bellator president Scott Coker has acknowledged there have been important ongoing business talks, but there are currently no concrete details available about the future of the MMA promotion.
