Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White is a ferocious defender of his friends.

 

Just ask former boxer-turned-MMA promoter Oscar De La Hoya. White is still hot over last week’s trilogy fight between UFC Hall-of-Famers Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz.

 

De La Hoya’s Golden Boy MMA, an offshoot of Golden Boy Boxing Promotions, hyped the event between Liddell and Ortiz despite the fact that Liddell is turning 48 next month and hasn’t been active since 2010. Even with that in mind, the fight was sanctioned in California.

 

The fight ended when the 43-year-old Ortiz earned a vicious KO of his old nemesis in the first round.

 

During a recent edition of the UFC Unfiltered podcast White leveled a cold backhand against his nemesis, De La Hoya, accusing the former gold medalist and six-division champion of exploiting his longtime friend, Liddell, among other things.

 

What other things?  Well, you can get a pretty good sense of where White was coming from when you read his comments in MMANYTT.com   

 

Here’s a few choice White comments:

 

“Listen, I love Chuck Liddell and I don’t ever want to badmouth Chuck Liddell. People do think I’m badmouthing Chuck Liddell, but the reality is, first of all, lets says this first, I heard last week that the cokehead, ‘Oscar Del La Weirdo,’ is talking sh*t, that I don’t have any place to tell guys when to retire.

 

“First of all, it’s called friendship you f***ing cokehead. I’ve been friends with Chuck Liddell for 20 years and the reality is that Chuck Liddell retired when he should’ve retired, eight or nine years ago whenever it was,” White stated. 

 

“Chuck Liddell is 50-years-old and has no business fighting anymore and that fact that the State of California even let that fight happen is disgusting, it’s disgusting. Chuck Liddell is a huge superstar and has a great legacy in this sport. So of course, as friend, anyone that claims to be a friend of Chuck Liddell and was anywhere near this fight is full of sh*t. They aren’t a friend of Chuck Liddell. To let him go in and fight this fight. It’s terrible,” White ranted.

 

“The problem is Chuck Liddell was a fighter, Chuck Liddell loves to fight and that’s his passion in life. But there comes a day and age. Fighting is a young man’s game. He can’t do it and Oscar Del La f***ing Hoya says, ‘Oh come over to Golden Boy where we respect the fighters and it makes me sick what the fighters were paid’ and all this sh*t. Out of 14 fights on the card, five fights were amateur bouts which means they didn’t pay them jack sh*t. Twelve of the professional fighters on the card made less than $3k and $3k. What are you talking about you cokehead junkie?”

 

White went on: “Some of the guys made $1k and $1k and he says that he respects the fighters so much? He couldn’t even remember their names at the press conference.

 

“I hope someone talks Del La Hoya into fighting again, and I hope the State of California makes the fight, and I hope he gets knocked out just like Chuck Liddell did. In the first round. The cokehead nut ball. Tito and Oscar Del La Dummy were made for each other. Those two f***ing nut heads. First of all, Tito said ‘You guys want to get paid? Come over to Golden Boy MMA.’ Are you kidding me? Hey, you wait my brother, you wait to see how all this pans out. Everybody is going to be suing everybody in a couple of months. There was no money made over there.

 

“De La Hoya is a moron. An absolute moron and I don’t know how Chuck allowed himself to get talked into this sh*t.”

 

Don’t expect to see White and De La Hoya together spreading any holiday cheer this holiday season.
