WWE president Nick Khan – who has a new title following the completion of the WWE/UFC merger with new company TKO under the Endeavor umbrella – has offered a cryptic response.
Asked if there was to the company he left in 2014 under acrimonious circumstances, Nick told : ‘Listen, we only have respect for Phil.
‘We appreciate his run here. We appreciate what he did and tried to do with the UFC. Not many people can actually get in there and do what he did. So, when we have respect for Phil, we wish him nothing but the best.’
