Dana White couldn't help it, but got distracted for a moment during a gloomy UFC 319 Main Event on Saturday evening.
Khamzat Chimaev Dominated champion Drus Du Plessis completely to claim the middleweight title in Chicago, but it was far from exciting. He started photographing every round by photographing a Takedown within a few seconds and continued with dominant positions while he never looked at a finish seriously.
And one reporter with eagle-eyes on Press Ledge managed to take a photo of White with a break of the procedure halfway. In the result, Du Plessis finally loses his belt after an impressive unbeaten UFC -Run earlier.
Dana White accused of 'Bored on his phone' on UFC 319
Although it does not deny how impressive Chimaev's performance was, it was hardly easy to see or fan friendly. He easily landed Takedowns, but had to get up several times because he refused to promote the position and push them to a finish.
And reporter Zain Bando noticed during the event that Dana White seemed to be more interested in his phone than in the fight itself. He shared a photo with the UFC boss who checked his lyrics, which he subtracted: “Dana White is bored during the” fight of the year. “
Fans generally agreed with the idea of White, writing with one answer: “He is all of us. That fight was one -.” Another joked that he had seen “better fighting in my local pub.” One also praised the undercard and wrote: “That was 30 minutes that I will not come back, at least the other fights were good.”
Dana White sang the praise of Khamzat Chimaev after the fight
Despite a version that changed him from the toast from Chicago to the recipient of Loud Angry to the United Center, Dana White was thoroughly impressed by Khamzat Chimaev. He had predicted an exciting fight that it was not delivered, but was stunned by the dominance of the challenger.

“The run -up to this fight, I said,” I bet that the main event is the fight of the night. ” I didn't see that coming, but not shocked, “said White after the fight, if he could do it the first round, probably that you will do it on the second and the rest of the fight.
“The night when we were on Fight Island, and he said,” I want to fight next Saturday: “Since then the man has been a rocket ship. He is clearly also very popular. People love him and fight here in the United States, and of course Chicago also loves him.”
