Dana White does not intend to take seriously the provocations made by Sean StricklandRecently, the middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg) criticized the organization and stated that he had been prohibited from attending the UFC White House, historic event scheduled for next Sunday (14). The situation, however, was treated with irony by the manager, who preferred to adopt a relaxed tone instead of directly refuting the fighter's statements.

In a press conference, the UFC president responded humorously, sarcastically suggesting that Strickland would be 'banned,' expanding the joke by saying that the athlete would be excluded not only from the event but from any social interaction, after making it clear that he did not wish to be present.
