UFC president Dana White may be out on some crossover fantasy matchups, but there is one that he has recently shown a lot of interest in.
Just a few days removed from declaring “gimmick fights” are not a part of the UFC’s matchmaking playbook, White openly challenged boxing champ Tyson Fury to step up for a fight against UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones in the octagon.
While White admitted he has a great relationship with Fury and knows he would easily win a fight against Jones in the boxing ring, the UFC boss believes things would be different in the cage – and rightfully so. Throughout the brief history of MMA fighters stepping into the boxing ring and vice versa, the victory typically goes the way of the fighter competing on his home turf.
