Angry Dana White claims ‘stupid’ UFC fighter is intentionally ‘messing’ him after seeing latest video

Angry Dana White claims ‘stupid’ UFC fighter is intentionally ‘messing’ him after seeing latest video

Dana White believes a UFC fighter is intentionally “messing” him after seeing his latest video and previously called him “stupid.”

The promoter is gearing up for a big show next month when the famous Octagon sets up its booth for UFC 306 at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Sean O’Malley puts his UFC bantamweight title on the line against No. 1 contender Merab Dvalishvili, who has generated a lot of buzz ahead of their championship fight.

Earlier this month, Dvalishvili revealed that he had suffered a cut during training, to which White reacted angrily without making much of an effort.

And Dvalishvili has once again angered the UFC boss with his latest social media stunt.

He posted a video of himself removing his OWN stitches with scissors.

After Dana White’s Contender Series 69 event on Tuesday, the 55-year-old sharply criticized the UFC title challenger.

“Isn’t he great?” he joked.

“To be honest, I think he’s just messing with me.”

White added: “Do what you want, do what you want. Have you ever seen the scissors they use to pull strings? They’re tiny and they have this thing so you don’t cut yourself. And this guy had fucking bush shears. You know, the ones you use to trim your fucking bushes – the ones gardeners use. Whatever. Good for him.”

The 33-year-old Dvalishvili has won ten fights in a row, including big victories over Jose Aldo, Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo.

His win over Cejudo at UFC 298 earned him his first shot at UFC gold when he faces O’Malley on September 14.

O’Malley is looking to defend his UFC title for the second time after defending it in his last fight against Marlon Vera.

Last year he dethroned Aljamain Sterling and dethroned him from the 135-pound belt.
