The UFC president, Dana White, is the major pillar of UFC. As the most significant authority in the promotion, White makes most of the crucial decisions in the promotion. This often ends up with people criticizing him for being partial. Some fighters are known to have the Dana White privilege, which means White makes a lot of decisions favoring them. A social media personality, Hayden Iverson, recently called out the Dana White privilege of Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann.

Pimblett and McCann are two best friends who are often spotted together. They both hail from Liverpool and are names that are easily recognized in the United Kingdom. According to Iverson, White has favored Pimblett and McCann on several occasions. Moreover, he says that they are also hyped a lot in the promotion to grab the attention of the fight fans from the United Kingdom. When the UFC fighter, Mike Davis, came across the thoughts of Iverson, he equally felt that there are fighters with Dana White privilege.

In an Instagram video, Iverson detailed why he feels Pimblett, and McCann possess a lot of privileges. He went on to say how Pimblett received a co-main event in the lightweight division against Jared Gordon at UFC 282. Later, he went on to say how Molly McCann was given weaker opponents to win until she was given Erin Blanchfield. However, she failed to win over Blanchfield and ‘Meatball’ faced a pathetic first-round submission loss against her. Later, to build up her reputation, White gave her Julija Stoliarenko for a co-main event, whose UFC record was 1-4. Their bout was held at UFC Fight Night 224 at The O2 in London, which was McCann’s homeland.

According to the social media personality, the UFC boss gave her Stoliarenko so that she could win in front of her own people. However, McCann failed to win over her and lost the bout in the very first round via submission. Iverson tried to call out these in a one-week-old Instagram reel that was uploaded before UFC Fight Night 224.
