Dana White never watched the Ngannou and Fury clash

Francis Ngannou’s debut was successful, in one way or another.

It would not be wrong to state that approximately the entirety of combat sports had witnessed the epic unfold.

White in a recent statement to ‘Triggered’ stated “I didn’t see the fight but the fact that [Ngannou] went to rounds with [fury] is unbelievable”

Despite Dana White’s approval of Ngannou’s sportsmanship, Fans called out Dana White for not watching the match while everyone witnessed it.

Mark Zuckerberg sustained a horrible ACL injury

It is nothing new for people to be fascinated by the world of MMA and try to step into its world. Fans often join gyms and train themselves such that they can replicate what their favorite fighters do in the octagon. On a rather rare occasion, the CEO of Meta is the new entrant to the world of MMA.

The Meta CEO has been training and practicing MMA since the day he witnessed UFC.  With constant training comes horrible injuries and now the tech mogul Zuckerberg has injured himself while training. Reports specify that Zuckerberg sustained an injury to his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) while training.

The CEO took to his Instagram handle to announce his injury. He stated ” Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it. Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that’s delayed a bit.”

Tiffany Gomas grabbed the spotlight when she faced an unusual incident on an American Airlines flight on July 2. In a viral video capturing the moment, she accused a fellow passenger of taking her AirPods and made the rather peculiar statement, “that motherf–ker is not real.” This incident led to her removal from the flight.

In a rather weird ordeal, Conor Mcgregor messaged the viral video sensation after the event took place. While having a conversation on ‘Pardon My Podcast’ Gomas shared that McGregor Dmed her. She stated “I mean Conor McGregor reached out. He sent me a DM. He wasn’t trying to get in my pants or anything. He was just trying to say what’s up,”
