UFC-WWE merger: Will there be crossover events? Dana White clears the air
Since the announcement of the merger between UFC and WWE, fans have been wondering about potential crossover fights. However, Dana White recently cleared the air surrounding the same.
During a recent interview with the Associated Press, the UFC president spoke about the differences between the UFC and WWE and claimed that the chances of potential crossover fights happening are very low.
"The difference between the UFC and WWE is, if you look at the WWE, they have an entertainment value and they have these guys that are incredible athletes that go in there and do their thing. It's well known that it's scripted."
White further added:
"When you look at the UFC, this is as real as it gets, that's like our tagline. You have these guys that are incredible athletes, they have to be well rounded and well versed in all these aspects of martial arts. Then you have the entertainment side of it too but its real fighting, its real. There are no pre-determined outcomes in the UFC. So, there won't really be any type of crossovers."
