UFC President Dana White was thrilled after a successful conclusion of the much-awaited UFC 260 pay-per-view. Francis Ngannou finally became the UFC heavyweight champion as he knocked out Stipe Miocic in the second-round. Overall, the card had some very entertaining fights.
However, more drama was waiting in the post-fight press conference. A fan passing by offered White to fight for him, leaving the UFC President surprised. “Hey, Dana. I am ready to fight for you, bro. Right here,” said the fan as he was passing by the media gathering.

White was visibly surprised as he didn’t totally understand what the fan was saying. “That’s f**king weird. Holy Sh*t! What the h*ll was that all about?” he asked.
“What did he say to me? He is ready to fight for me?” White asked. When told the fan was offering to fight for him, the UFC President jokingly said, “He doesn’t look like he’s in fighting shape.”
