Within hours of the cancellation announcement, ‘The Diamond’ went online and told his fans that his fight was in fact, still on, and it had all been a massive misunderstanding led by some miscommunication. Meanwhile, on Saint-Denis’ end, a journalist reported that the fighter’s team never knew about the fight.

White put journalist Guilherme Cruz on blast for reporting that Benoit Saint-Denis only found out about the bout when the UFC announced it. He also shared screenshots of an online conversation between the fighter and seemingly his manager or Dana White himself.
