Dana White deserved this break considering that despite all of the criticism, the UFC CEO made sure that the promotion broke their record of the highest Gate possible. Interestingly, former UFC fighter, Chael Sonnen even claimed some people were in attendance just because they wanted to witness White’s failure, “They did not just come to take in history and because they’re secretly big fight fans. They came out to watch Dana White fail. There were not very many people that are executive producers, and now you’re asked to do something live with a technology that only a few people had even tried.”
