#4. 'Rampage' vs. the UFC president
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson is often counted among the scariest UFC fighters of all time. He has been terrorizing opponents since 1999. After joining the UFC, he quickly captured the light heavyweight title in 2007.
Jackson ended Chuck Liddell's four-fight title reign. His own title reign ended on his second defense but he remained among the best for several more years. However, his relationship with the promotion would soon turn sour. Trouble started brewing when Jackson signed on to star in the 2010 movie The A-Team. Dana White was also disappointed with his performance at UFC 144.

'Rampage' had no kind words for Joe Rogan either. He believed Rogan's commentary was biased.
Things did not change for the better between 'Rampage' and the promotion. He eventually moved to Bellator MMA in 2013.
In July 2021, while appearing on the DAZN Boxing Show, 'Rampage' said:
"Dana White has done a lot of good stuff for the sport... and he's done even better stuff for his pockets."
#3. Mark Hunt does not like Dana White
Mark Hunt has an MMA record of 13-14-1-1. Even with such a record, Hunt is considered a legend. He was a K-1 kickboxing world champion before starting his MMA career. He then fought in Pride FC and finally moved to the UFC. The 'Super Samoan' had one-punch knockout power.
The trouble began when he was booked to fight Brock Lesnar in 2016. It was Lesnar's comeback fight after retiring five years prior. USADA granted Lesnar a testing exemption. At UFC 200, the former champion defeated Hunt via unanimous decision.
Soon after the fight, 'The Beast Incarnate' tested positive for an estrogen blocker. The fight was declared a no-contest. A furious Mark Hunt then filed a civil lawsuit against the UFC in 2017. Since then, he has publicly badmouthed White numerous times. On September 24, 2021, the US Ninth Circuit revived Hunt's lawsuit.
It looks like Hunt vs. White will not be easing up anytime soon.
