Dana White blocks MMA media outlets and signs new UFC fighters
UFC CEO Dana White has revealed that he has blocked all media outlets covering the MMA sport on social media. During an interview with Steven Bartlett, White stated that most media coverage is incorrect and that reading it is a waste of his time. He explained that he prefers to hear from real fans rather than media personalities who he believes lack expertise.
In addition to his comments on media, White has been active in talent acquisition through Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS). Following Week 9 of the current season, White signed four new fighters to the UFC roster, contributing to a total of 42 signings so far this season.
Reflecting on his career and the UFC's relationship with TKO Group Holdings, White credited the partnership with Ari Emanuel, the executive chairman of TKO, as a vital resource for executing major business ideas.
