PUBLICITY:

It's no secret that the powerful Dana White is one of the most important figures in combat sports and, at the same time, divides opinions among MMA fans and professionals. For example, last Thursday (30), the executive caused a stir at the press conference to promote UFC Belgrade by interacting with a fan. And this attitude of the company leader did not please journalist Ariel Helwani and Jake Paul.

It all started when a fan asked Dana the following question, "Which fight on this card are you most looking forward to watching?" Without thinking twice, the executive didn't give a clear answer to the sports fan and even criticized him.

“ That’s a bullshit question , my friend. Obviously, everyone always gets excited about the main fight. I’m just rooting for them. I want to see some impressive moments on Saturday. So, hopefully we’ll have some of those moments,” said the official.

Since the impatient Dana had difficulty answering a simple question, his public enemies wasted no time in commenting on the episode. Considered by many to be the best MMA journalist, Arial Helwani questioned the executive's interest in studying and promoting UFC Belgrade , given that this is the company's first event in Serbia. Meanwhile, YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul agreed with his friend, reinforcing the idea that the executive doesn't know the fighters scheduled for the show.

"Honestly: bad question or... he simply doesn't know (or doesn't care enough to know)? ", wrote the journalist on his official 'X' account.

" Nothing more needs to be said ," the celebrity wrote on the same platform.
