Dana White recently discussed the time when the Governor of Nevada threatened to pull the UFC's license during his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
McAfee said that the UFC president has set a benchmark with how he acts. According to him, White often acts as he wants. However, the UFC boss refuted those claims, saying that things haven't always been like that. Here's what he said:
"That's not true. Back then when I was going crazy on the athletic commission, I was home on a Sunday morning after a fight and my phone rang and it was the governor of Nevada. Me and him had like one of those [conversations]. He's like, 'You ever f*cking talk s*it about the state of Nevada like that again and I'll pull your license. You'll never promote another fight again in this [state].' I said, 'Thank you, sir. May I have another?'"

Dana White slammed critics for talking about fighters' pay
Dana White recently went off on media personnel and internet experts for their comments on the big fuss about fighters' pay.
The UFC president recently made an appearance on The Herd with Colin Howerd Podcast. While talking about fighters' pay, here's what he said:
"Do you hear any of the fighters coming out and saying what they're getting paid? They don't do it. The fighters don't want people to know what they're being paid either. And I don't let any outside noise, or whatever you wanna call it, tell me how to run my business."
