The newest chapter in the book of Joshua Fabia is a public fallout with Diego Sanchez. Sanchez parted ways with Fabia after getting him kicked out from the UFC. Fabia, in return, slated Sanchez’s name publicly. However, UFC president Dana White wasn’t very pleased with the situation.

He talked to Kevin Iole from Yahoo! Sports and revealed what he thought about the entire situation. Iole updated him on the recent developments and asked White if he paid any attention to it all. “I haven’t really paid attention to any of that. I don’t care what that guy says,” he answered.

This is one of those things I was just telling the media the other day every time you asked me about Triller guys. Come on. You want a reaction from me. That’s what you’re looking for. I feel the same way about this kid. All you guys know, this kid’s batsh*t nuts and whatever,” White added.

Additionally, he went on to say that if Sanchez needed him, he would be there for him. He referenced an interview in which Sanchez said that he was trying to talk to Dana and added that Sanchez could just pick up the phone and call him.
