Dana White Receives Sarcastic Invite From the Triller Founders

Dana White has surely put the UFC on the world map with his brilliant strategies. However, as the number of MMA fans is increasing, new promotions are making their mark in the industry.

One of them is the Triller Fight Club. Recently, Triller held an event, Triad Combat, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. It was a fusion of boxing and MMA, where the fighters competed inside a triangular ring.

However, the fighters were allowed only punches, clinching, and striking inside the ring. The fight card of the event featured former UFC fighters like Mike Perry and Frank Mir.

Hence, Triller co-founder and principal, Ryan Kavanaugh, sent an invitation to the UFC supremo. However, it was with a sarcastic message for Dana White.

Kavanaugh wrote, “Dear Dana – Since Fight Club has broken every UFC viewership record, I thought perhaps you would want to see a proper production in action. We would be more than happy to arrange a tour and a personalized autograph.”
