TMZ Sports interviewed White after the event and asked him about his hanging out with the five-time World Champion.
We were just watching the fight as friends.
He is a friend and a fan. We have literally never talked about wrestling or fighting or anything else work related since I’ve known him.
WWE Hall of Famer ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and former Diva Eve Torres were also in attendance.
