Behind the Scene Scandals That Took Place At ESPN

ESPN Hates UFC

Many mixed martial artist and UFC fans believe that ESPN unfairly treats the sport, including scheduling bad time slots. Multiple ESPN commentators, including Skip Bayless, have criticized the sport and called it inferior to boxing. But commentator Jim Rome seems to be a fan, even regularly featuring various fighters. Ultimately, UFC founder Dana White had enough and lashed out on Twitter saying, “ESPN always hated us and now they hate us more now that we are on FOX. They canceled my int[erview] next week for UFC Rio.”
