Now he faces the threat of losing his job too. The California Legislators have written a letter to Endeavor [UFC’s parent company] demanding Dana White to be “immediately removed” from his position. The UFC Boss is on the receiving end of harsh criticism even after issuing a public apology for his actions. Furthermore, a UFC veteran has slammed California legislators for their actions while also disapproving Dana White’s actions.
