Last year Dana White pushed back on the media’s criticism of the UFC’s Covid protocols.
The New York Times criticized the UFC for allowing face-to-face interviews and handshakes with the fighters in the Octagon.
Dana White was also criticized for not wearing a face mask or gloves and other decisions related to testing fighters and personnel for the Coronavirus.
When pressed by a soy boy reporter if he’s worried about the repercussions, Dana White said, “I don’t give a f*ck. Don’t give a f*ck.”

“Fair enough.” the reporter said.
