They announced a deal to sign former UFC light-heavyweight star Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson this week but White has not been impressed.
He told TSN: ‘Really, if you look at Bellator, there’s not much to be interested in.
‘There’s much better promotions all over the world that are actually dealing in up-and-coming talent.
‘There’s lots of great shows to watch all over the world. All you (media) talk about are two, when there are plenty of other places.’

Bellator have the likes of Douglas Lima (left) on their roster but lack the depth of the UFC
ONE Championship in Asia has found huge success, Cage Warriors and KSW are leading lights in Europe and PFL in the United States are also making waves.
Bellator can lay claim to having some hugely talented fighters on their books too with the likes of Patricio Freire, Gegard Mousasi, Douglas Lima and Michael ‘Venom’ Page.
But there is no doubt that the UFC remain the dominant force in MMA with the top global talents on their books.
