Shut up and ‘let me do what I’ve been doing’ for 20 years - Dana White on interim title controversy

UFC president Dana White is speaking out on the much-questioned interim heavyweight title fight booking between Derrick Lewis and Cyril Gane. And according to him, it’s something that’s already been discussed with reigning champion Francis Ngannou and his team.

White got heated with Ngannou’s manager Marquel Martin on social media last week, right after the news broke. He first addressed that in a recent conversation with UFC Arabia’s Farah Hannoun with a familiar line of reasoning.

I responded to his manager, but I wasn’t really talking about him.
