White criticized Grasso's fight with Shevchenko

"You can put twenty million dollars into organizing an event, but you can't control the fights," Dana White said at the post-tournament press conference. "They're going to be what they are. So I'm not going to let it get me down. Our fan base grew 69% during the pandemic. Some people turned on us for the first time today, and I hope they turned off before the second biggest event."
