‘Shut that down beautifully’: Dana White handles ‘lefties losing it journo’

Sky News host Rita Panahi has praised UFC CEO Dana White for how he handled a “lefties losing it” journalist.
Mr White was asked a question by a journalist about what UFC fighters say in the octagon.
“You obviously give a long leash to your fighters about what they can say when they are up there with the UFC microphone, you are getting into territory of homophobia, transphobia,” the journalist asked.
Mr White responded by saying he doesn’t give “anybody a leash”.
“Control what people say, gonna tell what to believe … that’s ridiculous.”

If you try and question Dana after he tells you to shut up he has you banned from press conferences so that's why they're afraid of him.

[@JayTheDodo]

Dana isn't some bastion of free speech. All this is quite new, he kept plenty of fighters on short leashes. He treated all his fighters like employees when it suited him, however when they wanted to unionise they became independent contractors with no leash. Dana is a lot of positive things, this ain't one of them though.

A storm is coming people. I pray you get your hearts right with Christ. No man took His life from Him, He gave it up freely and took upon Himself, our sins and the punishment that we, not He truly deserved. No man also will stop His return and His Kingdom being finally established on this earth, of which there will be no end. God bless every man, woman and child living in this wonderful country that I am privileged to call home.

That was back when they were planning on taking the UFC public and Dana and his bosses were worried about the big payday now he's rich so he doesn't care.

[@CoelhoSports]

@@Paul-vf2wl but it's definitely not because he has specific principles, as he is explaining it now. you're right. it's about money and he saw what happened to bud light and other companies and he knows he could smash his base by doing what bud light did. bud light is spending crazy money hitching its cart to ufc trying to buy back men, and nobody is buying back into it. is white now going to turn on the very people that bud light is trying to buy back by associating with the UFC? no way. it's a big money balancing act and catering to the feelings of the fringe is not worth losing a billion in assets. guarantee you white personally still doesn't like anyone criticizing the alphabet mafia, though.
