The UFC and its president Dana White have been criticized heavily in the past. Be it controversies surrounding the fighters or even a lucrative fight card created by Dana White – the love-hate relationship with the UFC president has always remained. Recently, White found himself facing backlash for claims of ‘mistreating’ his fighters. Now, with the Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg fight slowly falling into place, White finds himself under fire from the public, once again.

Tesla owner and Twitter CEO Elon Musk recently called out Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg who immediately accepted this challenge. White has previously made cross-sport fights happen by backing the potential match between Jon Jones and Tyson Fury. However, this time, the reaction he received for trying to promote the Billionaire’s fight was less than pleasant.

Not A Gimmick Fight – Dana White’s Controversial Defense Doesn’t hold true for the Fans

Criticism is not something new for White. He has been dealing with derogation for quite some time now. However, the UFC President has always maintained a front and dealt with it with an iron hand.

Dana White has also been condemned for hyping up the fight without any real confirmation in sight.

“This isn’t a gimmick fight. Gimmick is MMA guys going to boxing and getting beat. We have seen it already and how it ends. This is a fight between 2 of the most powerful /richest guys in the world. Who will win? Who has seen this before? NOBODY. It’s also a crossover fight that literally EVERY EVERYONE will watch.” tweeted the UFC President in hopes of saving face.
