8 Times UFC President Dana White Lost His Damn Mind
2. Post Conor McGregor Controversy At UFC 223
Unlike many sports organisation presidents, Dana maintains personal relationships with a select few of his fighters. For example, the boss always sustained a good relationship with Chuck Liddell throughout his career, from when he was Liddell's manager in his early career to when he offered The Iceman a job at the UFC when he retired from active competition in 2010.
More recently, Dana has shown that he is close friends with the biggest PPV draw in the sport, Conor McGregor. However, this hasn't stopped him condemning The Irishman's actions when he has stepped out of line. Following McGregor's antics prior to UFC 223 when he threw a dolly through a window, injuring two fellow UFC fighters in the process, Dana revealed that he was furious with The Notorious:
This is the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of the company, and there is a warrant out for Conor McGregor’s arrest ... I don’t know if he is on drugs, or what his deal is. But to come and do this and to act like this — you’re talking about a guy who had a baby. He just had a kid. This is how you’re acting? You have a son at home.
