UFC President Dana White destroyed a media outlet who was critical of the fighting league’s recent sold-out event.
Hosted by VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, the card was the first full-capacity indoor card for UFC since the COVID pandemic began.
Leading up to the fights, the
Las Vegas Review-Journal (LVRJ) published an article claiming attendees of UFC 261 were “willing to risk personal damage or death to attend” the live sporting event.

Jorge Masvidal canât help but give credit where itâs due, but if you thought his knockout loss meant heâs throwing in the towel on his career, you were gravely mistaken.
At UFC 261, Jorge Masvidal suffered the first knockout loss of his UFC career at the hands of an unlikely culprit. It was the same man who Masvidal said had neither power nor âmeanness,â UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
Masvidal warned Usman that he had adequately prepared for the âhuggingâ and rounds of footsie. What he was not ready for, however, was Usmanâs striking execution presenting something to him that he was yet to see in his lifetime of fighting. That is something worthy of respect, regardless of the preconceived notions heading into their encounter.
