During the UFC 296’s post-fight press conference, White reacted to the brawl and took the blame for seating Strickland and Du Plessis so close to each other.
“So, what kind of an a–h-le sits Strickland next to Du Plessis? This a–h-le (points to himself). That’s who, “I do every sitting assignment every week. How f—-ing stupid is that? I mean, seriously. Well, I don’t know what humans you can sit Strickland next to, but definitely not Du Plessis. I don’t even know how I missed that.”

While Dana probably didn’t mean for Strickland and Du Plessis to fight each other, it did add more hype to the upcoming fight card next month.
