N3on Forced to Break Character in One Final Attempt to Get Into Dana White’s Good Books After Controversial Donald Trump Episode at UFC 296

Popular streamer N3oN has released an apology video addressing Dana White, Donald Trump, and the UFC. The video comes on the heels of his actions before the UFC 296 wherein the streamer had claimed on social media that he was going to confront the former President at the event. Trump has become a regular fixture as a VIP guest at multiple UFC events. His relationship with Colby Covington has also been a notable part of his UFC appearances.

N3on is popular for gaming content on Twitch, Kick, and YouTube platforms. Nevertheless, he has faced backlash from the online community for his actions and statements in the past involving controversial statements and content. In his apology video, he discussed the incident and asserted that he has reconciled his relationship with Dana White. Let’s take a look at what he had to say!

N3on apologizes to Dana White, Donald Trump, and the UFC

In a pre-event stream, N3on had outlined his plan to confront Donald Trump at UFC 296. During the live-streamed video, he confidently declared that he would walk up and engage in a verbal altercation with Trump. He claimed, “You can clip this and foreshadow it in the future. What’s gonna happen is I’m gonna walk up, I’m gonna talk my s**t to Trump, and then it’s going to be a very good experience.”

However, reports indicate that anonymous informants derailed the plans by notifying the authorities, resulting in his exclusion from the event. His actions drew backlash from a large portion of the online community. And it even led to UFC CEO Dana White also slamming him in a post-event interview.

In the apology video, N3on expressed his regret and apologized to the UFC, Donald Trump, and Dana White. He acknowledged that “…that night when I said all that sh*t, the problem with me is I put the camera on and I black out and I don’t realize.”

N3on recognized that he spoke without considering the consequences of his words. He also emphasized the danger of his behavior and even mentioned the risk of possible physical harm. He stated, “I like talk too crazy and not even realize it and I didn’t even try to get the clip, it’s not even that, I didn’t even try to go for the clip, I just say whatever the f*ck I want and I feel like I’m behind the screen when in reality I’m in person. Someone could literally come and just shoot me in the head and I don’t like understand it.”

Despite not seeking attention with his comments, he admitted to speaking freely without realizing the impact. N3on sincerely apologized, acknowledging that he should never have uttered those words and taking ownership of his actions. He even revealed that he went personally to apologize to Dana White, and surprisingly, White accepted the apology.

The entire incident serves as a cautionary tale about the repercussions of impulsive actions and their real-world consequences. And despite N3on stating that he apologized to White in person, the UFC head honcho made his feelings on the whole incident clear in a recent statement!

White slams streamer for ‘clout chasing’ behavior

Despite N3on’s claims that he has apologized to Dana White and there is no friction between the pair, White has been vocal about his thoughts on the entire incident.

At a post-event press conference, reporters asked White to express his opinions on the incident involving N3on. In his trademark fashion, he stated, “What happened is he said some stupid s*** on Instagram and, he bought tickets so he wasn’t anywhere close. When you start saying stupid s*** like that, yeah, you’re probably going to get busted up and thrown out of here.”

White also dismissed N3on’s actions as “seeking clout” and emphasized that making threats and talking nonsense would not be tolerated. Despite a substantial following on YouTube and Kick, N3on’s actions may lead to further exclusion from UFC events. But as he claims to have personally apologized to the UFC boss, it remains uncertain whether he will be permitted to attend future UFC events.
