UFC CEO Dana White is not happy with the media.
Earlier this week, UFC star Sean Strickland went viral and was mentioned in the mainstream when he made unhinged comments directs at the NFL, and Bad Bunny.
“I think they all get together around a table and say, ‘You know what guys, how do we ruin this sport? How do we g=y it up?’” Strickland said, “’Why don’t we bring in a gay foreigner who doesn’t speak fucking English and have him perform [the halftime show?’”

After the fight, White blasted the media for baiting Strickland, and pushing his buttons.
“It’s a nightmare, but you guys don’t help – asking him dumb sh-t,” White said at the UFC Houston post-fight press conference. “Ask dumb sh*t, you’re gonna get dumb sh*t. ‘What’d you think of Bad Bunny? What’d you think of the Super Bowl?’ Get the f*ck outta here. You f*cking kidding me?” So, when you talk about what Strickland says, you guys like to push the buttons.”
