Dana White had an eventful night at UFC 303 in Las Vegas. With all of the cancellations and last-minute replacements, many people questioned whether the card would be a huge disappointment. However, in the end, it seemed that everything fell into place.
After a stressful week and a successful pay-per-view event, Dana White appeared in front of the media. During the conversation, White was constantly being bothered by the unwanted sounds of helicopters. It got to a point where a frustrated white snapped and hilariously joked about the situation.
How many helicopters you have seen in Las Vegas, f****** ever? We do press conferences and it sounds like a f******* mass shootings in here. This is insane.

White was extremely pleased with UFC 303 and all the fights that took place. He was asked about Conor McGregor‘s comeback and the UFC CEO revealed that he won’t be talking about it until McGregor is properly ready.
Other than this, White credited Alex Pereira for his incredible win over Jiri Prochazka at the main event. According to White, ‘Poatan’ is definitely one of the best fighters in the current roster. White also indulged in a debate with a reporter arguing over his claims about Jon Jones being the pound-for-pound ace. With Jones being inactive for over a year, Alex Pereira has also revealed his intentions to fight him.
