Dana White 'Not a Fan' of Amateur MMA

By Ariel Helwani - Video Reporter and Writer

"It is a zillion times safer to be a professional," White said.

White also reiterated that he thinks MMA needs an amateur program, but "that's not my job."

Check out the video (which contains mature language) of White talking about amateur MMA below.
