One thing that Dana White has proven in his time in the UFC is that he is a business mogul. The UFC President has transformed the fight game to unimaginable lengths and led the change from the forefront. Moreover, he had to make tough choices along the way to achieve such success. However, these choices have certainly not been the most popular ones and resulted in him being scrutinized for these decisions. This time, he has made one such call which has certainly not been what the fans wanted. It left some fans disappointed and others enraged.
