AEW’s Tony Khan talked about his friendship with UFC President Dana White during an interview with My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox.
They became friends earlier this year. He shared a voicemail he received from White after White learned that Khan had won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter‘s Promoter Of The Year award for 2020.
“Today Dave Meltzer wrote a story about me going to Jacksonville,” White is heard saying in the voicemail. “And he’s like, obviously completely against it. And he says, ‘For all the people that were bitchin’ and wondering why Dana White didn’t win Promoter Of The Year last year, now you know’. And I’m like, ‘If I didn’t win, who the f*ck won?’ I looked it up and it was you. I was like, ‘Well, if somebody’s gonna win it, let it be f**kin’ Tony’.”
