Dana White went off on a tangent during his UFC 319 post-fight press conference
The UFC CEO was full of praise for Khamzat Chimaev after his middleweight title win on Saturday night.
Dana White even shared his wild scorecard for the Russian’s main event win over Dricus du Plessis.
However, it was something unrelated to the latest pay-per-view show that got him going after the fights were over.
Dana White stunned by UFC APEX story
Earlier this week, it was reported that the UFC will be increasing the APEX capacity to 10,000.
Dana White’s right-hand man, Hunter Campbell, was believed to have confirmed the expansion plan.
Amazingly, the entire story was completely fabricated, according to MMA’s most powerful man.
“That was the biggest bulls— story ever written. It’s f—ing unbelievable,” White said.
“They quoted people that literally said nothing to them. Never spoke to them or anything.
“That entire story was an absolute bulls— lie. The craziest thing we’ve ever seen. This whole story is a lie. Everything about it is a lie, including the people that they quoted. Never talked to them.
“If you look at the construction that’s going on at the APEX, to even think it’s going to be a 10,000-seater arena, it’s f—ing unbelievable.
“Complete lie. Everything about that story was a lie.”
Dana White crushes Jon Jones dream
Jon Jones is hoping to end his infamously short retirement at the White House in July 2026.
However, Dana White completely shut down Jones’ dream comeback following UFC 319.
“I haven’t talked to him at all,” the UFC boss said when asked about Jones’ chances of fighting on his upcoming White House card.
“I would not bet on it. If I have to make odds, it’s a billion to one I put Jon Jones on the White House card.”
