Dana White defends Max Rohskopf: There is ‘no shame’ in quitting

UFC newcomer Max Rohskopf quit on his stool after the second round of his lightweight bout with Austin Hubbard at UFC on ESPN 11 this past Saturday, and Dana White believes the 25-year-old made the right decision.

White knows firsthand how tough the sport is and credited Rohskopf for taking the fight on short notice and being honest with himself in between the second and third rounds.

“Let me tell you what, in this f**king sport, if you’re done, you’re done,” White said at the UFC on ESPN 11 post-fight press conference (h/t MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin).
