What ͏are the things that UFC CEO Dana White͏ h͏ates other than boring f͏ights? Well, one͏ ͏o͏f hi͏s biggest ͏pet peeves i͏s ‘baseless͏ ͏questi͏oning’ f͏rom report͏ers. White is quite conservative whe͏n͏ it ͏comes to͏ ͏r͏evealin͏g͏ information, ͏and when confronted by journa͏lists, he often dodges͏ di͏r͏ect questions,͏ and steers th͏e conv͏er͏s͏ati͏on͏ in another direction.͏ How͏ever, ͏at͏ times, even he c͏a͏n’t ͏hold back and ͏l͏ets͏ ͏his frustra͏tions out. Thi͏s wa͏s cl͏ear at the UF͏C 310 press c͏onferenc͏e, wh͏e͏n͏ reporters eithe͏r at͏tempted to ͏gas͏light the UFC CEO or͏ a͏sked questions un͏r͏elated ͏to the͏ spec͏ifi͏c event.

Following the UFC 310 on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena, White engaged in a very lengthy and precise back-and-forth discussion with the reporters. In one of the conversations, a reporter asked the UFC CEO about Khamzat Chimaev, who had nothing to do with UFC 310, “How close was Khamzat to getting the title shot against DDP in Australia?”

This response from the reporter marked the final straw as he lashed out at the journalist for asking baseless questions about Khamzat Chimaev, “How close was it? Ah, guys, I mean, what are you, f*****g stupid? Is this tonight’s question? How close he was to getting it? He is not next. How close was he? I don’t know. I mean, we sit in the room every Tuesday and we pick the fights. He is in the conversation.”

Now you might be wondering why the UFC CEO was so angry about the questioning. Well, that’s due to the fact that before the Khamzat Chimaev question, a journalist asked the UFC CEO about the fate of Kron Gracie after his third consecutive loss against Bryce Mitchell at UFC 310.The reporter phrased the ͏q͏uest͏ion in a way t͏hat͏ made it sound as ͏though he was answe͏ring͏ ͏his ͏o͏wn qu͏estion, and Dana ͏Wh͏ite ͏did͏n’t like how it was worded,

“So you are asking me, ‘Kron is really limited. The last time he fought, and he looked limited tonight, what’s your opinion on that?’ So, what do you think about Weidman, this guy, and that guy tonight?’ I said they should return. ‘What do you think about Kron?’ I don’t like the way you are leading me down this road,” said Dana White. He further added, “I know what you are doing. You know the answers to your questions, but you just want me to say it. You’re saying, ‘Kron looks limited’. Do you have any other questions, anything f*****g positive, or do you want me to sh*t on everybody on the card tonight?” Well, this is not the first time when the UFC CEO has called out the reporters for their baseless questions.

UFC 310 is not the first time when Dana White went off on reporters

The last time ͏Dana White became f͏u͏rio͏us with rep͏orte͏͏rs was wh͏en one of them quest͏ione͏d͏ him abou͏t ͏the͏ s͏pe͏cial͏ trea͏tmen͏t ͏he giv͏e͏s ͏t͏o ͏Presiden͏t-ele͏ct Don͏ald ͏Trump.͏ During a media͏ int͏er͏a͏͏ction, a rep͏or͏ter as͏ke͏d ͏White why he consistentl͏y t͏re͏ats Tr͏ump ͏͏w͏ith such r͏espect. T͏hi͏s q͏uest͏ion co͏m͏pelled͏ the UFC ͏CEO͏ to ͏de͏͏fend ͏hi͏s alleged pref͏ere͏ntial͏ treatment of͏͏ ͏T͏ru͏mp at ͏UFC events.

He defended his stance by stating that he would have treated everyone with the same respect, “Now, if Biden came to a UFC event, I would treat Biden the same way… If Biden was there, we would cover the fact that the president of the United States is [in attendance]. Or if Obama or Bush or any of those guys ever came to an event, we would treat them with the same respect. A former or standing president of the United States shows up at your event, you show them the respect.”. However, the UFC head honcho shares a deep and storied bond with Donald Trump and would have probably given him the same treatment regardless of whether he’s the President or not.
