It did not appear from the footage that security tried to intervene in the fight. Dana White, President of the UFC, had mentioned that security was not responding to the fight.
“The crazy thing about that fight [is], when that fight broke out, it felt like it kept going forever,” White said after the event. “I ran over there, and I was watching it. Nobody stopped it. I was waiting for security to come in. They just let them go until it was over. That’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen,” Fox Sports reported.
White also said he wasn’t concerned with the brawl giving the UFC a negative perception.
“I don’t think it’s a bad look for the UFC. It happened and that was the end of that. I think after everybody else saw that s—, nobody else wanted to try that again. No security. The fight just went on until the fight was over. I’ve never seen any s— like that in my life. Crazy,” Fox Sports reported.
Dana White’s style of running the UFC has been one of independence. Whether it’s brawling fans, or making a grand entrance with President Trump, the brand has shown itself to be very successful.
