JNPO: Dana White’s unexpected ESPN adversary
UFC president Dana White generally despises the media, but has found himself a fairly soft landing spot on ESPN programming. An exception was this past week when he appeared on First Take to officially announce the location of Fight Island.
What happened after that was unexpected to say the least courtesy of former NFL player turned media personality Domonique Foxworth.
On this new JNPO, MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn returns to the show to discuss the appearance and how the UFC president refuses to budge from his key lines when it comes to paying fighters more money.
Also on the docket:
- The loaded up UFC 251 card kicking off the Fight Island era of UFC
- Is Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier III for the right to be called the best UFC heavyweight of all time and could we see a double retirement?
- Do we really think Conor McGregor is retiring?
- Some UFC 250 leftovers as the bantamweight division just keeps getting deeper
