“As Embarassing as It Gets for Dana”- Fans Up in Arms as Dana White Seen Walking Out of Cory Sandhagen vs Rob Font Fight at UFC Nashville

UFC returned to Nashville for yet another Fight Night event this year. Cory Sandhagen and Rob Font were featured in a highly anticipated bantamweight clash. However, an unusual incident occurred involving Dana White, who walked out of the event during the latter half of the main event. Fans have shared their reactions to it on social media.

Many MMA experts predicted the Sandhagen vs. Font fight would be an exciting contest, given how good they are in the striking department. However, that was not the case when the time came for the fight, and failed to live up to the expectations. It was particularly due to Cory Sandhagen’s game plan.

The fight started off with both fighters trading strikes at each other. However, the whole complexion of the fight changed when Cory Sandhagen started using his grappling skills. The short notice aspect of the contest seems to have played a significant role in Rob Font’s defeat. He may have expected Sandhagen to mostly use his striking skills. But ‘The Sandman’s game plan did not involve much striking, but more grappling. That nullified Font’s chances of taking control during the fight.

Then the most shocking thing happened. UFC president Dana White was seemingly frustrated with the lack of action and walked out of the arena during the fourth round of the main event. Let’s see what the fans had to say about that situation.
