What was said
"He's very good at separating business from personal relationships. For him, the two never overlap. He draws a clear line between them. In business, he's extremely cold-blooded."
Nurmagomedov argues that UFC president Dana White’s success comes from rigidly separating personal relationships from business decisions. He says he understands the dynamic after running his own league and describes White as willing to make unpopular calls if they benefit the UFC.
