UFC President Dana White Tells The Fans What They Can Do With All Those ‘Boos’

UFC 209 went down last night and fans seem to be torn on the promotion’s main event. With no co-main event in sight, much of the night’s anticipation was hanging on Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson’s title fight rematch.

The main event was a technical and methodical one, with little to offer in terms of bombastic slug-fests. For both competitors, it was seemingly a smart fight. Unfortunately many of the fans saw differently, as the bout was occasionally echoed with boos from the crowd.

In an interview with UFC on Fox, UFC President Dana White gave some advice for the booing fans of UFC 209.

“Listen, you want to boo? You’re sitting up there, drinking your beer and eating your popcorn. Get in there with Tyron Woodley. Get in there with ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. Shut up.”

Woodley walked away with a majority decision over Stephen Thompson in the main event, while the co-main event between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov was abruptly cancelled following Nurmagomedov’s weight management issues.
