UFC CEO Dana White has addressed Ian Garry's allegations that Michael 'Venom' Page and his team tried to bribe his Chute Box gym for fight intel.
Garry and Page are set to open the UFC 303 main card this weekend in a welterweight clash. 'The Future', who is undefeated so far in his professional career, will put his No.7 ranking on the line against 'MVP', who defeated Kevin Holland in his UFC debut earlier this year.
Ahead of their bout this weekend, Garry and Page took part in the pre-fight press conference, where the Irishman took his rivalry with the British fighter to another level. During the presser, Garry accused Page and his team of attempting to bribe members of his Chute Box gym team for fight intel. He also alleged that Page could be set for a ban from the octagon if he revealed his proof.

White was then asked for his thoughts on the situation during the Power Slap 8 press conference. According to the UFC head honcho, he doesn't know any details about the allegations but expects the situation to be "mental warfare" between Ian Garry and Michael 'Venom' Page. He said:
"Mental warfare. I have no f**king idea. If he was trying to spend money to get to somebody into the camp, what would he be charged with if that was the case? This ain't the NFL, this kinda stuff happens. To me, sounds like mental warfare. He's [Ian Garry] trying to get into his head. You guys probably know more than me."
