UFC events can be incredible glasses, but sometimes other situations must be given priority.
Although Dana White recently handed over his face-off role to Daniel Cormier on UFC 318, he can usually be found cage side for the largest events.
As shown with White that are currently putting together ideas for the UFC event in the White House in 2026, running an event requires a lot of planning.
Of course, not everything can be prepared and that has led the UFC -CEO to have to make a number of important phone calls during Fight Night.
In particular, there is one copy that came in mind for White when he thought about a crazy emergency situation that took place while Daniel Cormier recorded one of his most iconic victories.

Dana White had to leave Daniel Cormier versus Alexander Gustafsson after he was told about a creepy family –
In a recent interview with Candy Funhouse, it was indicated that Dana White is often busy with his phone while attending UFC PPV events.
The UFC -CEO may take the fighting, but that does not mean that there are no other things to attend.
When mentioning the craziest call he ever received during an event, White thought about an emergency that required his immediate attention.
UFC 192 took place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on October 3, 2015, where the light heavyweight title was defended.
On the same night that Islam Makhachev suffered his one loss, Daniel Cormier Alexander Gustafsson defeated a split decision in a classic UFC title fight.
Unfortunately, White could not see the fight from start to finish after he received a phone call about his daughter who was involved in a creepy situation with their family dog.
The story is certainly not for the prudish, because the UFC boss distracted its attention from the action in the Octagon to tackle the problem as quickly as possible.
“That is actually a great question and it just touched me,” White recalled. “I think we were in Texas and it was a Cormier fight, I can't remember who Cormier fought, but my daughter was very young and the dog we had torn at that time during the fight.
“So I ran to him and grabbed Dr. Davidson, who was the UFC doctor from Vegas, and we started calling, got a plastic surgeon. Not only did the dog tore off her ear, it also tore her ear in two … They also had to go to the freaking hospital and her ear.
Dana White gave more context about the story during an old appearance on the podcast of Joe Rogan
Dana White told the same story during an appearance about the Joe Rogan experience in 2015.
He said that after having received a phone call from his sister -in -law, he could not even understand what his wife said because of her state of panic.
White also said that after calling a plastic surgeon his daughter could make a remarkable recovery after a scary moment for his family.
“When the plastic surgeon came and put her ear back and repaired the ear in this way, it sewed together again. The ear of my daughter looks incredible.”
