Yeh first reaction that's what it's starting to feel like. Still need to wrap my head around the "partnership" but I have zero confidence or desire to have White involved in the sport, full stop. When I hear a league being directly partnered with Tony Khan TKO and the WWE...well my stomach turns. Dana lords over a company with maybe 500-600 active, contract restricted fighters in the Ufc. Not the multi thousands in boxing who enjoy having agency as a professional athlete.

I see Turki talking about disregarding the sanctioning orgs and having only one belt etc. Meanwhile he's marketing his next card strictly around Canelo becoming "undisputed" as in gathering all 4 belts once again. He's becoming quite the troll speaking from both sides of his mouth. It almost comes off like he's played with his new toy and become somewhat bored, so now he wants another one. I've just always been skeptical of Turkis full intent and frankly attention span for the long term health and growth of the sport.
