Oscar De La Hoya rarely lets an opportunity to criticize UFC CEO Dana White slip between his fingers. Seizing on the FBI investigation into fight-fixing allegations at UFC Vegas 110, De La Hoya launched into a social media rant against the mixed martial arts fight promotion, its CEO, and White’s venture into boxing.
“News came out this week that I can not ignore,” De La Hoya said in an Instagram post. “One of my enemies is in boiling hot sh*t, and I mean that stinky, smelly, hot lava, cow dung fire out of my a** type of sh*t. You know what I’m talking about.

“My friend Dana White and the UFC are being investigated by the FBI for allegedly fixing over a hundred fights with the latest one over the weekend that was incredibly suspicious. I mean, wow. Is anybody really surprised,” continued De La Hoya.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, White denied that the FBI is investigating 100 fights and called the claim ‘click bait.’ According to White, immediately following the UFC Vegas 110 bout in question, he called the FBI to launch an investigation.
De La Hoya then turned his attention toward TKO Boxing (Zuffa Boxing) which was announced by White in March in partnership with Turki Al-Sheikh, head of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.

“I’ve been trying to tell you guys, these TKO guys are scumbags,” De La Hoya said. “Now they’re trying to change the Muhammad Ali Act to f**k boxers over. Get the f**k out of our sport. Everything you touch turns to absolute sh*t, and now you have the FBI crawling up your a**. Good f**king luck.

“I mean, look, is there any young boxer that’s crazy enough to f**k their careers by signing with your sh*t league,” questioned the rival promoter. “They want their own rules. They want their own belts, their own ring, their own sanction to do exactly what they’ve done with the UFC which landed them a $400 million lawsuit from former fighters and now a federal investigation into illegal activity. We’ll see how that pans out. Dana’s shirt is definitely stressed at this point. He’s having a terrible week.”
