UFC President Dana White is known for his strong stance against media outlets that publish fake news. White values accuracy when it comes to reporting on the MMA world and the UFC organization. At the moment, the UFC boss chose to speak against fake news reports about Khamzat Chimaev and White. According to the news, Chimaev unfollowed White on social media. The UFC boss came across the news and lashed out at the “media” with proof for paving the way for controversies and confusion.

White felt that it was important to speak out against fake news as it tarnishes his image completely. The media often tries to portray the UFC boss as a villain. Hence, White chose to correct the news related to him and Chimaev by addressing it directly through his social media.

Dana White lashed out at the media for spreading fake news

In an era where news spreads quickly through various channels, fact-checking has become increasingly important. However, the UFC boss feels this factor is missing from present-day reporting. ‘Borz’ had a glorious first-round submission victory against Kevin Holland in September 2022. Ever since then, he has not signed any contracts. According to White, he is busy with his personal life. However, the Swedish fighters claimed that he was ready to fight. While the confusion was going on, a media outlet reported that Chimaev had unfollowed Dana White and UFC matchmakers Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard on social media. It was also reported that he unfollowed Darren Till. While there is no proof to prove the same, many still believe that he actually unfollowed them on Twitter.

White posted a screenshot of the news report, along with another screenshot of ‘Borz’s Instagram following list, in which he was seen following Dana White. Under the post, White wrote, “This is the “media”. I could literally do this every day with almost every story that’s written. Everything these people write is total and absolute bullsh*t.“That was not the end, it was followed by a post in which White also shared a screenshot of Chimaev and him in a video call where they were both smiling.

‘Borz’ has no fights booked

Chimaev messed up the UFC’s business by missing weight at the UFC 279 weigh-in. ‘Borz’ was scheduled to fight against Nate Diaz. However, the fight didn’t come to fruition, as Chimaev weighed 7.5 pounds overweight. Following this cancellation of the bout, he fought against Kevin Holland.
