Being the son of the president of the largest MMA organization on the planet brings some privileges, such as being able to watch events from the side of the octagon and even enter the ring after the most important fights have ended. However, despite all this, little Aidan White, son of UFC president Dana White, will not remember his experience at UFC 185 so fondly. According to the director, Aidan cried a lot after UFC XNUMX's defeat. Anthony Pettis, of whom he is a confessed fan, for the Brazilian Rafael dos Anjos and rejected the invitation to enter the cage by your side, such sadness.

“My children have watched the fights with me a few times. But Aidan, my son, is a big fan of Anthony Pettis. And I had told him: 'When the fight is over, if Anthony wins, come with me and put the belt on him.' And when he didn't win the fight, he didn't want to go up with me at all. He's been crying a lot backstage even now,” said the manager, in an interview with the North American channel “FOX Sports”, shortly after the event.
Dana also commented on the fact that Rafael dos Anjos having played with a knee injury, suffered a few weeks before the duel for the lightweight belt. For the president, there is no reason to be irritated with the Brazilian, given that he did not put himself at risk and still came away with victory. “Beating Pettis is a great achievement. He had an unbelievable performance and only told me about his knee when I got into the octagon. Take that out of the equation and you say, 'Wow!'. Take that into account and it's just incredible what he did. And it wasn't something that dangerous, obviously, for him, because he could have lost because he wasn't 100%, but he not only didn't lose but he had his best performance ever, being completely dominant”, he concluded.
