It’s no secret that the relationship between UFC president Dana White and the MMA media has been a bumpy one to say the least. In 2020, it seemed like it got more negative than ever before.
In a year where a global pandemic created chaos across the globe and throughout the sports world, the UFC was able to get the train out of the station before anybody else. While other leagues and entities were asking questions, the UFC found solutions and returned to action in May with UFC 249 in Jacksonville, Fla.
Sure, there were questions that the media asked, but for the most part, most inside the mixed martial arts bubble were rooting for the sport to continue on in 2020 as long as it was safe to do so.
