Dana White: It’s ‘unfortunate’ and ‘frustrating’ that Texas still won’t allow packed arenas

On Thursday, Dana White revealed the possibility of moving UFC 260 and all future events to Texas. These plans were related to Governor Greg Abbott’s recent executive order, allowing businesses to operate at full capacity.

But during the UFC 259 post-fight presser on Saturday, the UFC president stated that the Texas plans likely won’t push through. Yet, despite the setback, White isn’t too bothered.

“The governor is claiming that Texas is open, I talked to him. He wants to open Texas, he wants all businesses to resume, but these Mayors in these towns feel differently.
