“It isn’t just me” - Dana White reacts to ‘classy’ Canelo Alvarez firing hard shots at famed nemesis Oscar De La Hoya
It's safe to say that Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya are unlikely to squash their beef any time soon.
During his post-event press conference for last night's episode of the Contender Series, the UFC CEO recently fired hard shots at his famed nemesis after comments made by Canelo Alvarez on the Nelk Boys' FULL SEND PODCAST. He praised Alvarez for being a classy individual and mentioned that he is correct with his assessment of De La Hoya.
He said:
"What I did love was the Nelk Boys interview with Canelo [Alvarez]. First of all let's start with this, how classy is Canelo? I mean, one of the classiest guys in the world...Canelo is incredibly classy but, what have I told all of you for years about him [De La Hoya]? And what did Canelo say? Yeah, it isn't just me."

Dana White's hatred of Oscar De La Hoya stems from the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor bout in 2017 after the boxing legend discouraged fans from buying the pay-per-view because he believed it wasn't a positive for the sport. The UFC CEO has since put him on blast on a number of occasions, especially when he forayed into MMA with the Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz trilogy fight.
It's unlikely that Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya will make amends as they continue taking shots at each other in interviews and on social media.
