Will there be WWE x UFC crossovers after merger? Dana White clears the air

Dana White has cleared all the speculations surrounding the WWE-UFC crossover following the merger of the two companies.

This past week, it was announced that Endeavor, the parent company of the UFC, has completed the acquisition of WWE, with the two organizations set to form a global live sports entertainment powerhouse.

Since then, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding potential crossover fights. However, according to Dana White, the chances of it happening are very low. During a recent interview with the Associated Press, the UFC president spoke about the differences between the UFC and WWE and stated:

"The difference between the UFC and WWE is, if you look at the WWE, they have an entertainment value and they have these guys that are incredible athletes that go in there and do their thing. It's well known that it's scripted."

Dana White further added:

"When you look at the UFC, this is as real as it gets, that's like our tagline. You have these guys that are incredible athletes, they have to be well rounded and well versed in all these aspects of martial arts. Then you have the entertainment side of it too but its real fighting, its real. There are no pre-determined outcomes in the UFC. So, there won't really be any type of crossovers."
