Dana White Q&A on Zuffa Boxing, Sky Sports and the future | 'I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for boxing'

I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for boxing. I've always loved boxing. I was managing fighters and the Fertitta brothers, my partners in the UFC, we got into jiu-jitsu and through jiu-jitsu we started to meet UFC fighters and I started managing some of the guys and through that I found out that the UFC was for sale and we ended up buying it two months later.

But everything that I loved about boxing and everything that I hated about boxing is what I used to build the UFC. Because I didn't know anything about production or MMA at the time.

So boxing was absolutely, positively my first love.

It really is. It's been fun so far. I'm really happy with the team that I've built, the matchmaking is excellent. We're only four fight nights in and the shows keep getting better and better. That's the beauty of it.

They are just going to get better and better from here on out.

You'd have one champion in every weight class and you'd be in a situation where people can rattle off who all the champions are in each weight class again.
