UFC President Dana White recently stated at the UFC 287 press conference that Kevin Holland was yelling incoherently at him and former POTUS Donald Trump after his victory. Dana revealed said Trump turned to him and asked, “What is he talking about?”
Trump is seemingly a huge fan of UFC. Dana further revealed that Trump calls him twice a month and talks for an hour about UFC fights, and he is a huge fan and knows what every fighter is doing. Trump told him his favorite fighters are Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.
Meanwhile, leading up to UFC 287, Jorge Masvidal and Kevin Holland were involved in a heated argument and had to be separated by security before things could escalate. In the pre-fight press conference, both Holland and Masvidal were asked about the same, however, the questions were shut down by Dana White.
Speaking about the altercation between Kevin Holland and Jorge Masvidal, the UFC president made it known that questions from the media tend to instigate the fighters and it creates a big ruckus backstage. He said:
“Well the reason why I don’t want you guys talking about other fighters is, guys, we’re fu*king two days before a fight, he’s not fighting Jorge Masvidal. Whatever they got into, whatever, first off all, it creates sh*t backstage and at the hotels right? When you guys ask them questions like that and they say something, we still got two days until the fight and these guys run into each other.”
Dana White added:
“I get it, you want your fu*king clicks or whatever it is you guys want to get, your little fu*king moment that you can post but I will fu*king attack you if you do that, you know what I mean? It just causes a lot of bullsh*t backstage and at the hotel.”
