Dana White slams MMA media for trying to sabotage UFC 249: ‘Wait till they start getting laid off’

Dana White thinks the MMA media are in for a rude awakening in the coming weeks, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the global economy and destroy many small to medium sized (and some large) businesses.

The UFC president has put the MMA media on blast for allegedly trying to convince the Florida State Boxing Commission to cancel UFC 249, claiming that the media has tried to sabotage the event over health and safety concerns.

Speaking to reporters ahead of UFC 249, White said the media will be the most heavily affected by coronavirus layoffs and urged reporters to stop portraying the UFC in a bad light.
