UFC President Dana White, as the head honcho of the biggest MMA company in the world, is a well-known face to the fans. Starting from weigh-ins, to being present octagon-side during the bouts, White hardly misses out on anything during a single UFC event. The 53-year-old is also known for his robust interviews, often bursting myths about his events and the company. He did just that ahead of the UFC’s return to programming after a week’s break.

Dana White took to Twitter in order to reply to UFC strawweight fighter Mackenzie Dern’s statement regarding Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg renting UFC Vegas 61. The UFC President tweeted, “Mark Zuckerberg did NOT rent out the UFC Apex. That’s total bulls**t.”

But from where did this news originate?

Why did Dana White choose to tweet about this?

The UFC’s fifth-ranked strawweight fighter spoke about this at the pre-event press conference. She stated, “I mean, I know Mark Zuckerberg like rented out the whole event, you know, so I know he’ll be there. I don’t know if it’s just like literally him and his wife or if he’s gonna have friends or it will be like a small party, I don’t know.”

Mackenzie Dern’s interview talking about Zuckerberg renting the UFC event was attracting attention. As this led to a lot of rumors being spread about the ‘UFC Fight Night 211’ event, Dana White may have decided to step in and clear the air.
