Dana White proud to be UFC President – UFC Special
Not always do we hear President of UFC Dana White talking sweet, but when he does, he makes sure it is well served. Recently, in an interview with Ariel Helwani for Fuel TV, White spoke of the many issues regarding UFC but this time it was sweet or maybe
sugar coated. Since he became the president, White has been widely criticised by many for favouring fighters and for going the extra mile at times to give young fighters a chance.
According to White, he and his associates have revolutionised the fight business. For once, probably every UFC fanatic would agree with White on that. Surely, he has revolutionised the way fights were being conducted. Over the years, many fighters have blamed
White for favouring a bunch of fighters in the business but most of them know that he does it for every fighter he sees potential in.
“There are a lot of things I'm really proud of,” said White. “We've revolutionized the fight business. We've done things in the fight business that nobody has ever done in the history of combat sports, including health insurance for fighters. We're tweaking
and fixing things. It seems like every way you turn, someone is waiting for you to fail. I tell you what: they'll be waiting a long time for this one to fail.”
“It doesn't matter what year it is or what relationship it is, there's always challenges with your business. I like it. I like the fact that we have to change things up. We have to figure things out that we didn't realize in the beginning. It's been interesting
but fun. I told you when we got into this FOX deal, the next two years were going to be critical, and I'm having fun.”
Recently, there have been quite a lot of injuries to fighters, which have led to cancellation of events or major fights on the cards. White believes UFC needs to get rid of the injury bug in order to have more stability.
For now, White believes he has had a great run as president and that he will keep doing it for as long as he can.
