It would appear that UFC President Dana White may have not been in the best mood following the recent UFC 220 event. (Video replay above)
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was in Boston, Massachusetts on Saturday night, Jan. 20, for the highly anticipated fight card of UFC 220. The main event featured a heavyweight war for the title between reigning champion Stipe Miocic and rising knockout artist Francis Ngannou.
Miocic earned a dominant decision victory over his opponent, putting the rising challenger back in his place back among the contenders. With that in mind, the night’s drama did not end there.
Leading up to the event, the UFC heavily promoted the night’s headliner. However, some fans have gone to criticize the promotion of the fight as being heavily in the favor of Francis Ngannou. Much of the promotion for the event appeared to be riding off of Ngannou’s recent knockout victory over former K-1 champion Alistair Overeem.
Miocic would eventually go on to criticize the UFC for not promoting fairly for his title reign. Directly after beating Ngannou, Miocic would not allow the UFC president to wrap the championship belt around him.
Rather, Miocic took the belt and gave it to one of his cornermen to do. In an interview following UFC 220, as seen in the video above, Dana White appears to be somewhat disgruntled from the incidents of the event.
