Eddie Hearn says Dana White is "cooked", and that White has spent the past month cursing him.

Asked who has thought about the other more in the last 30 days, Hearn said: "I've thought about him a lot. Yeah, because it's motivated me to win." White would deny it, Hearn said, but "you've walked around for 30 days and gone, this f***ing prick, piece of s**t."

"I just have to look at someone's face and I know you're cooked... I watched that press conference. Have you ever seen anyone more cooked at that point?" Hearn told iFL TV. "I don't mean that in a way that might be the urban definition of cooked. I mean your brain is completely gone."

"When Dana White is sitting at that press conference, all he can hear is Eddie, Eddie, Eddie... in the brain," he added.

Separately, at his media scrum after the UFC 332 press conference in Salt Lake City, White called Hearn "incredibly delusional" and said Hearn is "trying to win some kind of PR battle".
