Dana White hits out at ESPN: “They always hated us and now they hate us more. F*@# ESPN”

UFC President, Dana White has once again let his personal feelings spill out on the social networking platform Twitter this week, this time targeting global broadcaster ESPN, and to say the choice of language is strong would be somewhat of an understatement.
Posting via his Twitter page, Dana scorned:

“ESPN always hated us and now they hate us more now that we are on FOX. They canceled my int next week for UFC Rio Fuk ESPN”

It’s an interesting situation ESPN find themselves in now, owned by the Walt Disney Corporation which is a major rival of FOX. Do they continue to support the sport of MMA and in particular the biggest player of them all, the UFC, and in turn provide in effect free advertising for FOX on their own network? A few interesting months lie ahead of us folks and I don’t expect this to be the first and only outburst.
