The pair, who share a mutual love for combat sports have been known to get along quite well in recent years, with Eminem’s music often being involved in White’s fight promotions.
However, given their contrasting political opinions, especially during such a turbulent political time in the States, it perhaps goes someway to explaining the obvious tension between the pair.
Whilst live on Sports Centre, Eminem took the oppotuntity to defend UFC fighters who he feels have been treated unfairly by White’s organisation.
“The best part about your opinion is that it doesn’t matter.” said Eminem. “And if every fighter that you had listened to your opinion when you doubted them, you wouldn’t have a f*cking league.”
