Dana White is the President of the UFC and is certainly a controversial figure in the world of MMA. Dana White was also previously accused of an ‘illegal crime’ in Las Vegas.
The UFC has recently been plagued by controversies about suspicious gambling activities, particularly about fighters betting on fights. In fact, retired UFC veteran and coach James Krause has been making the news for all the bad reasons, resulting in his suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission and his fighters at Glory MMA being banned from events
UFC President Dana White was asked during the UFC 282 post-fight presser about whether this will end up affecting the UFC’s legacy or not.
“Zero. I’m not worried about it at all. We let these guys know not to bet on fights. Do you know what the outcome of this is? If I penalize them, you get cut. They’re gonna go to f—ng federal prison. Federal f—ng prison.
“If you’re that f—ng stupid, and somebody else wants to do it, knock yourself out. There’s not enough money in it, to ruin your life, and not go to jail. Go to federal prison.”
