UFC President Dana White has been at loggerheads with the media ever since the pandemic disrupted regular UFC events in March. He slammed the media saying he doesn’t give a f**k. Furthermore, he claimed that media houses wrote stories of a podcast and dismissed reports of veteran commentator Joe Rogan not being there at UFC 249. Finally, White blamed a report for ESPN asking him to step down and not go ahead with UFC 249 at Tachi Palace Casino Resort. 

Now he lashed out at “unbelievable” reports of him and Conor McGregor over the past week.
