“Dana Took Me in a Bathroom And…” – Brock Lesnar Once Received a Hard-Hitting ‘Whip-Thedog Session’ From UFC President Dana White

Brock Lesnar is a former UFC champion who was arguably one of the most dominant fighters in UFC history. The American achieved incredible feats in the octagon and cemented his legacy in the sport. However, his relationship with UFC president Dana White was always rocky during his time at the promotion. Let us look back at when Lesnar revealed an anecdote about receiving a “whip-thedog session” from White.

Brock Lesnar released his book titled “Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival” in 2011, revealing more about his personal life and struggles. In one segment, Lesnar spoke about the time Dana White grilled him after the entire Bud Light controversy. Lesnar badmouthed UFC sponsor Bud Light after his win at UFC 100 due to a monetary issue, which did not sit well with the UFC president.

In his book, Lesnar wrote, “Before the press conference that night, Dana took me into a bathroom and let me know what was on his mind. I said later that night that it was a ‘whip-thedog session,’ and believe me, it was.” Here, Lesnar is referring to the post-fight conference after the bout against Frank Mir.

He wrote, “He explained that pissing off major sponsors was not the way to do it. And just so I’m honest as hell here in my own book about it, let me say that he didn’t phrase his explanation too nicely. He was upset with me, and the truth is, he had every right to be.” Lesnar also mentioned how White’s comments helped him calm down before the conference and how his “professional side” took over.
