Dana White has made a chance for UFC -rivaling promotions after attending an influencer event organized by Internet Sensation Adin Ross.
The UFC has forever been the best promotion in mixed martial arts, despite constant attempts by Bellator and the PFL to try to take first place.
One of the most important factors of the success of the UFC is Dana White, who has long been the best promoter in MMA, consistently compiled some of the largest fighting and events in sport.
However, something that becomes extremely popular in combat sports, are events with influencer-supported, which sometimes contain performances by former UFC stars, such as Darren Till.

Dana White takes sweep to UFC Rival Promotions
Last Friday, just a day before the huge UFC 314 event in Miami, White attended an influencer event sporting event that was organized by his friend and internet sensation, Adin Ross.
White has always been a good friend of Ross, even saved once with a gift of $ 630,000 after the streamer lost a considerable amount in a casino in Vegas.
Ross somehow managed to get white and his right hand, Hunter Campbell, on comments for the majority of fighting, in which White even picked up $ 10,000 after seeing an 'island boy' Ko'd.
During the comment, White took a wipe to UFC -rivaling promotions, comparing them with influencer events that are run by people like Ross and Co.
“Listen, you have set up a show, the place is full, people are hanging here, you have half a million people on stream (watching), you have hit you about it, I think you are doing well,” said White Ross during the event.
“That is more than any other of our F— – competitors are going on, I can tell you now. If you look at one of our competitors trying to compete against us, you will have more going on here than she,” White went on.
“That is actually a factual explanation. You have given more viewers than I think someone who competes with the UFC is now doing,” hunter Campbell added.

White comments come days after cancellation of GFL events
The comments from the UFC boss come only a few days after the new MMA promotion, GFL, has announced that they cancel their two debut events that were originally planned for May.
The promotion signed various former UFC hunters, including Tony Ferguson, Fabricio Werdum and Paige Vanzant, and have caused controversy in the MMA world.
There are now worries that the promotion will never take off, because investors apparently continue to withdraw from the project, so that their future remains in question.
