“National Bash Dana Day”: Hours After Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Fight Announcement, Resurfaced Video of “Doofus” Dana White Bashing the Ex-UFC Champ Leads Fans Into Having a Field Day

Dana White’s bet has backfired – all thanks to a recent shocking revelation in the MMA world. But what’s the bet, you wonder? Well, it’s been a while since the UFC president dismissed the notion of a boxing-MMA crossover bout between current UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones and the undisputed boxing heavyweight champ Tyson Fury. And when it came to Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones – their faceoff was squashed as well. What’s more – White even threw shade at Ngannou, accusing him of ducking Jones.

But all hope’s not lost! In a recent surprise announcement, a clash between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury has been confirmed. The ‘super-fight’ will allegedly be hosted in Saudi Arabia. Considering White’s differences with Ngannou and the Cameroonian’s distasteful exit from the UFC, the news comes as a delight to many Ngannou fans and the whole MMA community in general. Fans have been looking forward to watching ‘The Predator’ in action ever since his last UFC bout against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270, but a fight for Ngannou was nowhere in sight.

Amidst the rising anticipation and buzz surrounding the fight, an old video of Dana White has resurfaced. In the video, we see White critiquing Ngannou’s belief that a bout between him and a boxer would generate massive pay-per-view (PPV) revenue. With the confirmation of the MMA-boxing crossover fight, fans wasted no time taking to social media to bash the UFC president and his statements.
