“Do any of you know this scummy piece of f***ing shit @loganmurphyfuctheufc if you do please give me as much info as you have on him. He wants attention? He’s gonna get it.”
Within hours, White deleted the post and uploaded a new one stating “WE GOT HIM” and informing fans that the man had been identified. He has since deleted the second post as well.

Journalist Alex Behunin also shared a screenshot of Dana White sending words of dire warning to Bender after the information was revealed. Adam Sedlack, the CEO of UFC Gym, made a statement that Bender was no longer associated with them. He had been fired 75 days ago for “current erratic behavior.” Behunin shared a screenshot of Sedlack’s comment as well.
Bender’s Wikipedia page noted that he was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department for alleged threats to the UFC head honcho’s daughter.
