Bob Arum recently went on record to talk about drug testing in boxing.
"I don't think drug testing is particularly necessary as far as fighters are concerned," Arum stated.
Arum continued, "Most fighters obey the rules. It's probably more necessary in MMA because they appear to be unconcerned with testing. What the hell? As long as the tests come out after the fight, right? Everybody's collecting money. Just saying. Just saying. You've got MMA, just sold for billions of dollars. Good luck to them. And for some reason they can buy off lobbyists so they're not subject to the Muhammad Ali Act like promoters are in boxing - just saying."
Dana White heard the news about what Bob Arum said and sent MMA Junkie the following text:
"Does anyone give a fuck about Bob Arum or what he thinks? I didn't know he was still alive."
"I remember a bitter, fat, red, alcohol-abuse-faced Arum chirping about the 'oodles of money' the Fertittas were going to lose on the UFC 10 years ago. Arum is the biggest dirtbag in all of sports. I look forward to sticking around and continuing to kick his ass in every aspect of our business.
Dana White is not much for holding back.

Arum also took Dana White to task for speaking at the Republican National Convention. "In boxing, we have a lot of minorities, African-American, Hispanics, Jewish promoters, people like that. And pretty much, we're Democrats. MMA people, they're for Trump. You ever look at an MMA audience? Of course, they're for Trump," stated Arum.
For some odd reason, Bob Arum has had a lot of bad blood toward the UFC. He has made a lot of derogatory comments about MMA. Dana White heard the news about what Bob Arum said and sent MMA Junkie the following text:
