Dana White has firmly dismissed Oscar De La Hoya’s claims that he was set up to be humiliated at the Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn fight. Despite their long-standing, fierce rivalry, the UFC and Zuffa Boxing boss insisted he would never resort to such petty tactics—noting that if he didn’t want De La Hoya at an event, he’d simply tell him not to show up. White drew a parallel to his own past experience when Vince McMahon pulled a similar stunt during Ronda Rousey’s WWE debut in New Orleans, leaving White stranded at will call and eventually forcing him to sit in the bleachers. Setting the record straight, White explained that De La Hoya was allocated tickets in the celebrity VIP area. As for any friction surrounding Golden Boy staff, White suggested De La Hoya take those concerns directly to Zuffa Boxing co-owner, Turki Alalshikh.
