UFC President Dana White is as outspoken as they come, especially when it comes to discussing his lead competition, Bellator Fighting Championships.

At a stop in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as part of the UFC 168 media tour, White said he would never consider purchasing Bellator since the fight promotion has “no value” (via MMA Fighting).

"There's nothing there," White told the media. "If you look at any other company we ended up buying in the past, there was value. There's no value to that company whatsoever."

The UFC has purchased Pride, the World Fighting Alliance (WFA), World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Strikeforce in roughly the past decade, with White noting that Bellator doesn’t have the talent-rich roster those promotions boasted.

"If you look at Pride, look at all the contracts we got from Pride, all the guys that came over," he said. "Look at Pride’s library. Amazing library, with some of the most talented fighters of all times.”

“When we bought (World Fighting Alliance), we bought it because ‘Rampage’ had a contract with them. When we bought Strikeforce, we bought their library. Just the fights we had with Nick Diaz alone were worth buying that company."

While most of Bellator’s titleholders Pat Curran (featherweight), Michael Chandler (lightweight), Ben Askren (welterweight) and Alexander Shlemenko (middleweight) are considered among the best in the world in their respective weight classes, few other Bellator competitors get any recognition.

The promotion is to blame for that to some extent, giving fighters with losing records a chance to compete at their events on more than one occasion.

With Askren already appearing to be UFC bound in the near future and Chandler locked into a long-term deal with Bellator, could White have truly reached out to all the Bellator talent he is interested in at this point?
