UFC Veteran Calls Out MMA Media For Going Soft On Dana White
Darren Till has never been someone who keeps his thoughts to himself when he thinks something needs to be said. This time, he took aim at the entire MMA media landscape, and he didn’t pull many punches. The former UFC title challenger later posted a long message criticizing reporters. He believes many media members are failing to ask Dana White the tough questions that fans actually want answered.
He believes many reporters care more about keeping UFC access than asking hard questions to White. According to him, nobody wants to risk losing media access by making things uncomfortable. Because of that, tough questions are avoided, weak answers are not challenged, and fans never get the full truth. Earlier, when a reporter tried to ask him a tough question he dismissed him.
“Dana talks a lot about masculinity and tough men etc. But someone’s asks him a question he doesn’t like and you can see he gets all in his feelings, that’s not so tough from where I am standing to be honest. As I’ve said repeatedly I have utmost respect for Dana and for what he does. But getting annoyed or saying who gives a sh*t when someone asks him a slightly uncomfortable question is f*cking g*y as f**k,” Till wrote X.
MMA reporters once again failing to ask the questions us fans want,

Everytime I watch one of these media scrums after a UFC card it seems they are all so terrified of upsetting Dana & getting banned from having media passes.
Or sometimes once again he gives half assed answers and…
The media access problem in combat sports isn’t new. Promoters hold the keys, and journalists who need those keys tend to soften their approach over time. Till just said out loud what a lot of fans have been thinking every time. A post-fight scrum wraps up without anyone asking the one question everybody actually wanted answered.
Dana White Calls Internet “Stupid” Over Khamzat Chimaev Rumors
The online chatter about Khamzat Chimaev’s weigh-in wasn’t going to go unaddressed forever, and when someone finally put the question to White directly, the response was about as diplomatic as you’d expect. “The internet is fu**ing stupid. I don’t know what to tell you other than that,” White said.
Dana White is asked about the online chatter about Khamzat's weigh-in yesterday:

DW: The internet is fucking stupid. I don't know what to tell you other than that.
Later, when asked why they don't use a digital scale:
DW: Listen, Monday morning, at 9:02, call the New Jersey… pic.twitter.com/0RpCrSsStZ
It is worth noting that the weigh-in controversy occurred during a fight that already had fans heavily arguing online. Sean Strickland’s split decision win over Chimaev had many people calling it a robbery before the event even ended. The weigh-in talk only made the reaction louder. The internet can keep debating it, but he has already moved on.
