Dana White has dealt with a considerable number of lawsuits over the past two decades. One such situation was the UFC's legal battle with Ken Shamrock.

Ken Shamrock had been with the UFC for many years before the legal dispute began. In 2006, the MMA veteran lost his last fight in the promotion, a trilogy bout with Tito Ortiz.

Shamrock was released from his UFC contract in 2007. He ended up suing the UFC for breach of contract, stating that the promotion released him with one fight still left on his agreement.

Years after Ken Shamrock lost the legal battle with the promotion, the former UFC fighter publicly criticized Dana White for fighter pay in 2013. White made sure to give a fitting reply to the UFC veteran.

The UFC president slammed Shamrock for not paying $175,000 which he owed the company. During an interview with Fight Hub TV in 2013, White said:

"Let's not forget that Ken Shamrock tried to sue us about his contract. Ken Shamrock owes me $175,000, and I'm coming for it Ken. I'm coming for it you fu***g piece of sh*t. You should have stayed where you were, hidden under the fu****g porch somewhere. The guy owes me $175,000 because him and his scumbag lawyer put together some phony lawsuit that he lost, and he owes me $175,000 in attorney fees."

"I'm still kicking the tires and looking around and it's very complicated, you know the sport's such a mess, it's literally a mess and to pull it off you have to actually get in there and clean it up you know. I've been working on this for years and I don't know, we'll see what happens."
