“Dana Broke That Swedish Girls Heart”- $500M Worth Dana White Put Under Fire for Dashing Hopes for UFC Hopeful Amid Awarding Contracts for Contender Series Fighters

For the fighters who are hoping to build a name in the top mixed martial arts organization called the UFC, the Contender Series is of utmost importance. This platform acts as the entrance to the UFC, providing promising athletes a chance to demonstrate their abilities. The same was the scenario in the recent episode of the Dana White Contender Series, where the UFC head honcho was spotted awarding UFC contracts to various aspiring fighters.

However, there was a fighter who eventually gained attention, since the $500 Million worth UFC boss didn’t seem convinced by her prowess at that point in time. What took place after that became a gripping tale.

Dana White thwarted the aims of the Swedish aspirant

Episode 3 of the 7th season of the Contender Series resurfaced on the UFC’s official YouTube channel. The video highlighted the contract winners who were chosen by the 54-year-old to step foot inside the promotion. However, Dana White did not shockingly select the name of Swedish MMA starlet Josefine Knutsson.

While shedding light on his reason for not selecting her, he said: “Josefine; She is obviously super talented. She checks all the boxes 6-0 in MMA and 27 and 5 in kickboxing. In her prime at 27 years old. I just didn’t see it tonight. I didn’t see it. I know when I see it. And tonight I didn’t see it. I think that she is super talented. I think that she has the ability to do it. I’d like to see her try harder to finish fights.”

He further spilled beans by saying, “I think she had hurt a few times, pressed her against the cage when she did and did not try to finish. I think she needs a little more MMA experience and like I said, checks all the boxes. I just didn’t see it tonight.” Apparently, White seemed unconvinced by Knutsson and advised her to have a bit more experience in the domain of MMA. However, what became more intriguing was the reaction of the fans. And how did they react? That was the crux of the tale.

Disheartened fans react to the verdict of Dana White

The fans indeed had expectations from the Swedish starlet, but Dana White’s verdict was enough to shatter their hopes. Most of the fans expressed their sorrow for Knutsson. In fact, they called a spade, a spade without any shilly-shilly. The following are their reactions:

• “Damn – Dana broke that Swedish girls heart.”
• “Was I the only one that thought the girls skills were the most impressive tonight and she didn’t get a contract.”
• “Dana said the girl checks all the boxes but he still didn’t give her a contract”
• “Hmm seems like they need to have both winners and losers to have a little more tension whether they’re getting signed or not.”
