Kavanaugh is part of that group and vocalised his discontent at the portion of the yearly revenue UFC fighters receive during the inaugural Triller Triad Combat Show on Saturday night.

He said: “I did ask him (Dana White) if he wanted to come to learn how a proper production is done because, you know, Dana’s idea of a proper production is throw up a little rusty ring.

“He will pay his fighters what we pay our ushers.

“You know, throw one little fight, have a guy knock the guy out, call it a night.

“This is what a production is… and I thought he might wanna come and learn a thing or two here.

“But, he can keep underpaying his fighters, taking home his own money and throwing up that rusty little ring.”

Kavanaugh is no stranger to taking shots at White, slamming his fellow promoter for reportedly blocking Georges St-Pierre from boxing Oscar De La Hoya.

He said: “Indentured servitude is not allowed in the United States.

“Yet Georges St-Pierre, who is officially retired from the UFC and has made it very clear he will never fight in MMA again, isn’t allowed to get into a boxing ring and make probably (one) of the highest paydays that he would get to fight someone he considers to be on his bucket list because Dana White says he can’t.
“
“That’s just wrong.”

Not one to let anyone get one over him, White fired back during the UFC 262 post-fight press conference and claimed Kavanaugh was constantly calling him to try and strike up a partnership.

He said: “Oh my god, don’t even ask me about these idiots. Who gives a sh*t?

“Does anybody give a s**t? I don’t give a s**t what they think. You think I care what Triller thinks?

“I don’t even take their calls. This idiot calls me every day. Texts me every day,

“‘Please answer my call, please talk to me, why won’t you talk to me?’

“Cause I don’t give a f**k about you. Do your thing. Leave me alone.

“F***ing do whatever it is you’re doing. Knock yourself out. I could care less.

“I have no interest in talking to any of those idiots. They can do their thing.

“Do your thing. Stop talking about me.

“What do you give a sh*t what I’m doing? Go do your thing. I get it but get out of here.

“What are you doing? I don’t even know what you’re doing.

“What is this thing you’re trying to build? What are you doing?

“What do I have to do with it or my guys? Do your thing. What are you doing? Are you starting an MMA organization?”
