After a challenging couple of weeks, UFC CEO Dana White can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Two of the promotions’ biggest fights for the year were canceled at the last minute. However, the 54-year-old has found suitable replacements for the events and is once again hoping to deliver a stellar show.

Recently, the UFC head honcho seemed to have been having a gala time with some of his close friends, including Matt Serra. However, what caught everyone’s attention was Matt Serra’s comment on White. Let us find out what the duo had to exchange.

Matt Serra calls Dana White ‘the heart of a rock’ in the video

UFC CEO Dana White is one of the most successful businessmen around. However, his friends still find ways to mock him. This time around, Matt Serra was the one who started a banter with the UFC head.

The entire conversation started when the guide shared about his work and said, “My family is a pearl diving family. We live on pearls. This one is 200 thousand dollars. And you know it’s yellow. Yellow is not a good one. The good one is pink. If you find pink you are rich.”

It triggered a reaction from the UFC head, as he asked the guide, “How many pink pearls did you find?”. The guide was quick to respond and said, “Thousands”. Citing the guide’s claims, White termed him a ‘Zillionaire’. 

The guide, though, came up with an interesting answer. “I give poor people, I don’t like to have money. Because money is the weirdest thing I have. When you have too much money, you would have stone, not a heart.”

Matt Serra cheekily agreed to the guide’s comment. “Yeah, we call him Dana ‘ The heart of a rock’ white. That’s what we call him,” Serra said.

White was recently in the news after the UFC 303 main event fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler got canceled. However, the UFC head is in no mood to blame Conor McGregor for his withdrawal. In his recent interview, he lent support to the former two-division champion.

Dana White shares his opinion about Conor McGregor’s injury

Dana White appeared for an interview with Jim Rome on ‘The Jim Rome Show’. Therein, the host asked the UFC head about the injury to Conor McGregor. White said it was a common occurrence in the business and fighters often get injured. However, it’s fun if the biggest stars are available.

“I gotta put on fights every Saturday. When those types of guys show up, it’s fun. But I run the business, man,” Dana White said.

The host then asked him whether the Dubliner tried to fake his injury to get any negotiation in his favor. White was quick to defend his fighter and made it clear to the host that it never happened.

“I’ve said it many times before, and I’ll say it again. Conor McGregor has never done that. Conor McGregor never leaves up to a fight and tries to renegotiate the contract or get more money. Conor McGregor is hurt right now. It’s absolutely real,” White quashed the speculation.

After the cancelation of the fight against Chandler, McGregor himself announced in a recent social media post that he was injured. Although he didn’t reveal the details of the injury, it seems he will take some time to recover.
