The CEO of the UFC was present in the arena while the entire altercation was taking place. In the post-fight interview, he remarked that he was stunned to see something of this sort taking place at a UFC event. He was also shocked by how long the fight continued without it being separated or stopped by security.
During the interview, White said, “The crazy thing about that fight is when that fight broke out and felt like it would keep going on forever, so I ran over there, and I was watching it, but nobody stopped it. I mean, I was waiting for the security to come in; they just let them go till it was over. That’s one of the craziest things I have ever seen. I don’t think it’s a bad look for the UFC; it happened, and you know, that was the end of that.”
It appears that White was not too bothered by this fiasco. Whereas, the fans themselves are not embarrassed by it either and found it entertaining. Let’s take a look at how they perceive this debacle.
