Dana white tells reporter that asks question about Francis Ngannou cross promoting that he had the dumbest question of the night then immediately answers another guys question about Mark Zuckerberg joining the UFC. 💀

that john jones in rehab comment had me dying lmao

If you ever see someone say a reporter is asking a stupid question, it’s probably a good question that they don’t feel comfortable answering

The dude made Dana speechless with such a simple and straight question.

You know Dana salty af that Francis did so good vs Tyson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Shout out to that reporter asking about the Francis Jones fight. It wasn't a dumb question, fans want it. Strategically it could hurt the UFC brand, it's too risky, and most of all Dana is too stubborn to relinquish power to a guy that turned down his crap offer.

Lmao, Dana is so butthurt with NGANOU, Reporters cant even ask a question about it.

Dana reallllly hates Francis Ngannou... notice how his energy changed between cross promotional questions about Francis and the question about Wilder. Went from "not interested" to "anything possible"

Alex knocking out jiri wasn’t as shocking to me but wow Tom Aspinall is the FUTURE!

If Dana could do it under the UFC promotion more heavily, he would. It's the idea of PFL and UFC being positioned as equals for a fight that he can't do.

Dana has so much venom whenever Ngannou is brought up fucking hell 25:38

Dana also shut down women ever fighting in the ufc and shut down Jones ever fighting for a title again about 5 years ago. The list goes on and on. His words don’t mean shit.

Dana doesn't want to make francis any bigger of a name than he already is

Everyone was obviously told no questions about Francis vs Tyson. Homie thought he was slick with the Jones vs Francis spin on it.🤣😭

The freudian slip 'Jon is in rehab' ...and then the slightly awkward pause while Dana was buffering ....priceless.

Look how defensive this guy gets when someone asks him about Francis I bet he was watching the fight wishing he woulda got knocked out

No disrespect to Stipe but Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall is a much more intriguing fight... The Francis fight got away, don’t let this one get away too

Francis is the Lineal UFC Heavyweight Champion, and Dana hates it!!!!

Benoit Saint-Denis is going to be a big problem for the top 5. His last 3 fights I’ve watched and every time I am just amazed by how good/tough this dude is.

honestly who actually wants to see Jones vs Stipe? Aspinal vs Jones is way more intriguing

Alex chopping the leg and jiri nodding and giving a bow respect.

He has a point… the UFC has never needed to co-promote with anybody. Why would they ever share profit?

Lol Dana’s got such a big ego. The guy asked a legitimate question and he got so butthurt, he hates the fact that Francis escaped the UFC & is making more than all the heavyweights in the promotion..combined.

That journalist who wrote the PFL CO pro question couldve simply saved himself by just saying “FRANCIS NGANNOU IS THE REASON” and Dana would’ve had to eat it. It’s not because of semantics of espn partnerships and bs . Not sure if Dana is defending Jon’s honor from denying a fight or Dana is delusional of how much the world loves Francis

i love how dana needs translation for anyone who speaks english with an accent

It's safe to say Francis snatched Dana's soul derm Dana hates that guy😅😅

Dana’s reaction to that question was gold. “Talk to me.” 🤦🏽‍♂️

Francis will do better without the UFC and not being willing to have cross promotion fights will always give argument that you don’t have the best heavyweight in the world. Especially being Francis has been in the UFC and left as Champion.

You can tell he’s pissed about francis

I think it's absolutely embarrassing how the majority of reporters didn't want to ask Dana, the real questions about Francis. Well done for the reporter who did. Dana doesn't want the HARD QUESTIONS

There is no consensus on whether Dana White's behavior is a part of his marketing strategy. Some people believe that he is simply a passionate and opinionated person, while others believe that he intentionally stirs up controversy to generate interest in the UFC. It is also possible that his behavior is a combination of both.

I feel bad for jiri, the way he stood disappointed and the ref held him. He did some damage tho, it could've gone either way.

Finally, a post fight video from this that isn't glitching out constantly. Thank you maclife.

Key words from Dana “Why should I do that?” Not “Why should Jon do that?”. Jon has a lot of legacy to gain by beating Francis.

Dana immediately got in his feelings when asked about Francis 😂

I really can’t get behind the interim HW title situation so Tom needs to wait 8 months for Jones Vs stipe then another 6+ months again in preparation to fight the winner (provided they don’t retire or get injured) it’s stupid

Why are we waiting around for Jon Jones to come back? It could be so so long, and it's unfair for Aspinwall to be essentially the Champion and defending an interim belt, while we could be a year off from Jones Vs Stipe.

you know for a fact they said do not ask francis ngannou questions

Early stoppage from Marc Goddard but it was a good fight. Crazy how many people can't see Jiri is just being a gentleman. He clearly wasn't out and just didn't want to create controversy.

I thought he was having seizures when he was shaking his hands😂

The truth is that Francis Ngannou has left an everlasting depression and sorrow in the heart of Dana White...Picture how Dana's mood, looks and voice changed immediately Francis Ngannou's issue came up..Dana started stuttering.😂😂

Dana didn't try to make the fight he tried to lowball Francis now he's pissed he fumbled the bag lol

Dana does not want Tom getting anywhere near Jon 😂

26:08 he got so mad 😂😂😂

Dana wants Alex to wait for Jamal (even if its a while) and he also wants Tom to wait for Jones to recover just to fight Stipe, whos last fight was getting KOd by Francis. How is that the fight to make?

Dana on Nate: “this is his house he can come back whenever he wants to” Dana on Francis: “he’s done he doesn’t fight here anymore I’m not interested”

"I like Deontay" ... but we don't do gimmick fights.

The guy is right that there really is a demand amongst mma fans for co promotion events between the big four

Alex is gonna smoke Jamal, I just hope Jamal doesn’t take too long, we need to see poatan as much as possible

All that reporter asking about Francis had to do was say “you would do it cause everyone wants to see Francis fight jones, and now that he’s arguably beat Tyson fury he’s considered the baddest man on the planet. So it would definitely generate large paper view numbers. But also could give the ufc a chance to prove Jon jones is still the goat since he hasn’t been tested against someone like Ngannou” Idk why he acted like such a pussy in that moment and made Dana look like the fight didn’t make sense

The truth is the UFC could not afford Francis now. Unfortunate for us but well earned

Dana went old school on that reporter

I glance over and Dana sitting there and smiling at the 7:00 mark with that black jacket, totally looks like uncle Fester! Lol.

Dana is taking a big L with regards to Francis. Just admit you f'ed up and take it on the chin Dana.

How many times did Dana blink..? 😅

Dana got the coke shakes mid interview 💀

Anyone that doesn’t understand why the ufc won’t co-promote a Francis-Jones fight doesn’t know business. Why would the UFC give a tiny promotion a major platform and put their(ufc) fighter at risk of getting beaten by a fighter not under ufc contract? Stupid question. The ufc had the opportunity to sign Francis with co-promotion stipulations and they declined. Why would the ufc change their mind now when he’s not under contract?

Dana: "Cross-promo with PFL wins dumbest question of the night" Also Dana: "Anything can happen....."

14:35 wtf is happening?

Did Dana short circuit @ 14:36 Jesus Christ someone get this man a line

24:40 Francis vs Jones talk starts

Dana gets mad every time someone asks anything about Francis, which tells you a lot..

So jon and stipe fight for the heavyweight belt , and Tom can defend his interim heavyweight belt, sounds about right for the ufc these days

Usually Dana presser is the highlight of a PPV, but this time Alex is a strong contender. 2 division champ in just 10 fights and most of them were very entertaining.

I have to hand it to Dana White. Alot of people was looking forward to Jones vs Miocic and then everything changed last minute for the ufc heavy weight belt. Its like going to a carlot looking for a Toyota Tacoma and the dealership talks you into a Chevy Colorado .

25:00 You know Dana is bitter that Francis let him go... I bet he was furious with how well Francis did vs Fury, even though he says he didn't watch it (I don't believe him). Francis could have been one of Dana's golden geese if he had treated him fairly. He'll never admit it, but he knows it's true.

He should do it for the fans, the fight game and for history.

That jon jones physical therapy line was a straight zinger by Dana. Good work 😂

Dana just made a great point about out how irrelevant the PFL is. Why the hell would he still think about Ngannou when he can sell out the biggest arena in the world without him and Ngannou does 65K ppv. When you got beasts like Pavlovich,Aspinall and Jon Jones at heavyweight, you don’t miss Ngannou.

24:40 is the time stamp for the Francis question.

Dana's shooting hand on display at 14:36.

I mean Dana is right. It was a stupid question. Why would the ufc co promote with PFL? If Francis KO Jones that only diminishes his company.

Doing a cross promotion would mean Francis won. It would still make Dana loads...his ego is worth more at this point.

great angle for the interview!

Cause it's the biggest fight possible Dana.. cause there are no questions about Francis anymore..how good he is or questions about him looking for a challenge. That's why boss.

Ngannou is getting Dana speechless 🤣🤣🤣

Dana looking like he had way to much blow when he starts shaking at 14:35

It's not a stupid question, you're just butthurt Francis is making big money under another corporation and they can't dictate his terms

Lol the Stipe has a limp question 😂😂😂

Dana coked out of his mind tonight

14:34 someone restored Dana to factory settings

That rehab question was class

Francis doesn’t need the UFC or Dana anymore after that Fury boxing match... Francis is a hot commodity 🔥

Jon should vacate the title and let Tom and Stipe fight for it. Jon faces the winner on his return. No way should Tom need to wait a year to fight the winner or defend the interim title in the meantime. Well done Tom amazing performance

26:27 Dana’s own pride is the reason we lost Francis Ngannou

Dana is just upset that he can’t waive the UFC like a golden ticket in front of Francis, UFC is a business and Francis is the business

Dana has that business mind. He doesn't want to prop the PFL up. He knows that the UFC could make huge money on a co-promoted event...but in the long run it would be bad for his business, by creating legitimate competition to the UFC brand.

anyone else here after the shocking UFC coverage of the presser 😂

I was sad for jiri. I knew it was an early stoppage the second they stopped it and he looked sad that he was deprived of that warrior fight

25:57 I'm actually worried that something is up with Dana. I'd never seen him this physically agitated and shaky. Shoulders going up and then, constantly trying to shake something off.

Dana c’mon I love ufc but get off your high horse and do a cross over with the PFL Jones vs Ngannou would be one of the biggest pay per view draws ever

As long as stipe vs jones isn’t for a title I’m ok with it. How tf do you make that a title fight when Tom has the Interim belt?

why can’t the reporters for once keep the focus on the event that just took place cause unlike so many others this card was worth raving about. absolutely epic main card with all five fights ending in a finish in first or second round. Epic!!!

24:55 on Francis

Pretty Bummed out about McKenzie Dern's performance...She now reminds me so much of Ronda Rousey, if she cannot get her opponent down...she has zero other skill set to revert to, getting rid of Jason Parillo was an insane move, because he was in process of moulding her into that complete fighter, what we saw was someone reckless and Amateurish in her attacks with her chin high up etc, if she doesn't get with a team that knows how to utilise her skill set and helps her with her entries in stand up she will be getting exposed on her feet even from unranked opponents. But hey, there's always Only Fans as a safety net if she desires to call it a day.

Shocker Dana doesnt want to co-promote. Anyone that thought this had a sliver of a chance was insanely delusional.

"You know Jon as soon as he heard he was injured" as if Jon isn't the first person to figure it out 😅

Dana already knew questions about Francis will come that is why he looked older than he actually is😂. And that question really strike him🤣. Common Dana i don't want to see you suffer like that.

Tbh it’s an extremely stupid question to ask for a cross promotion. Ngannou and jones were created in the ufc, the pfl does litterally ZERO ppv numbers, they’ve done nothing to deserve a cross promotion with the largest combat sports platform on the planet, it’s beyond stupid to ask that question. Ur litterally giving handouts at a certain point.

Ngannou-Jones, Silva-St. Pierre... Not making those 2 fights are Dana's biggest failures of his career.
