Dana White, UFC CEO, commented on the fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland.
“What kind of idiot do you have to be to put du Plessis behind Strickland? I'll tell you - this idiot (points to himself - note). I don’t know who should have been seated next to Strickland, but definitely not du Plessis. Honestly, I don’t understand how I missed this. But as I have said many times on occasions like this, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the fight business where these things happen regularly.”
