UFC Releases Lorenzo Fertitta’s Uncut Interview with ‘Outside the Lines’

Found January 16, 2012 on 5thRound.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Lorenzo Fertitta,  Dana White

Lorenzo Fertitta UFC

As the UFC expected, the “Outside the Lines” piece that aired on Sunday didn’t go out of its way to present the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the best light.

Anticipating the network would look to spotlight the company’s disproportionate pay structure, they filmed UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta’s (Pictured) entire interview on their own to ensure their side of the story would be revealed after ESPN did their editing.

Since seeing the piece with his own eyes, UFC president Dana White unleashed a verbal assault claiming ESPN and their shows are “dirty.”

Please click HERE for a recap and video of yesterday’s episode of ‘OTL.’
