Dana White once fired ‘go get the money’ message to UFC fighters after being left furious following flop fight

Dana White was left furiously after Rory Macdonald's fight against Jake Ellenberger in 2013, which led him to launch a passionate message aimed at the hunters.

Since a few years, a big argument has been that UFC boss Dana White Faces is the subject of hunter's wage that will never seem to die.

In 2013, when the promotion was still budding in one of the biggest promotions in the combat sports, White launched a passionate anger about hunter wage after a flop fight between Rory Macdonald and Jake Ellenberger.

The welter weight fight served as the Co-Main event for a flying weight fight between Demetrious Johnson and John Moraga.

Dana White shot 'Go Get the Money' Rant after terrible UFC fight

After an exciting structure of their fight in which Ellenberger Macdonald was showered with Trash Talk, White and the UFC fans expected an exciting fight between the two.

However, it did not meet the hype at all and despite his pre-fighting waste, Ellenberger hardly landed anything remarkable during their 15-minute fight and even MacDonald had trouble making the fight exciting.

And because of the matte fight, White continued in the press conference after the fight and launched a passionate anger about hunter.

“Yes, I certainly had high expectations of that, sure. That fight was so bad and it was a fight that had so much heat, it was a very important fight,” White began.

“Every time I make the weightings, we have a hunter meeting in the back and one of the topics I am talking about is hunter payments. You want to talk about hunters, let's do it.

“You all have the same chance to make those bonuses, do you want more money? It's f— there, go get it, go get the money … Have people talking about you tomorrow … Ellenberger has done nothing.

“Don't talk about everything – then to go inside and not try to perform. I don't think he has done anything. Do you think someone is screaming to see him again in a fight?” White went on.

'The Juggernaut' fights 10 more times under the UFC banner and lost eight times, and only hit Josh Koschek and Matt Brown.

MacDonald then started his incredible rivalry with Robbie Lawler

Although he was extremely close to a title shot at that time, MacDonald was then linked to Robbie Lawler, who led the beginning of their epic rivalry.

The two punches for the first time on UFC 167 on the Undercard of Georges St-Pierre's title fight against Johny Hendricks and Lawler took the Split decision profit.

More than two years later, the two again collided in the Co-Main event of Conor McGregor vs Chad Mendes on UFC 189 and ultimately have one of the greatest fights of all time, which is still credited to this day.
