Among the many straight-faced declarations that we’ve been fed over the years, one of Dana White’s favorites is that he doesn’t wait on anybody. If you have a champion — or even a contender — who is suspended, or injured, or who is simply dawdling, the show must go on. He will find an interim belt lying around the garage and put it up for grabs quicker than Chrissy Blair can bring a round card full circle.
That’s a refreshing way to think, but it’s also mostly a fib. White waited on Brock Lesnar, for instance, even when he said he wouldn’t wait on Brock Lesnar.
