Popular yet polarizing combat sports influencer, The MMA Guru, has taken a dig at UFC CEO Dana White and the MMA media. During a recent sit-down with all-time MMA great Demetrious Johnson, The MMA Guru talked about White's comments at the UFC 316 post-fight presser.

The YouTuber took a dig at the MMA media for not giving any resistance to White and talking to him politely. Because White was ill and had a crackly voice, the former wanted the MMA media to check his invulnerability. He told 'Mighty Mouse' that he would undoubtedly troll White to gain his attention if he were present on the spot.

"I thought about Dana's press conference. He finally came back. He showed up to work, and I thought the media was weak. He dropped something like 'it’s none of my business.' I remember it was one of the lines that he said when it comes to what Jones is doing. And it was just like this is literally your fu**ing business… What do you mean it's none of your business?"

"Dana White's out there. He is ill. The MMA media is just so weak at these press conferences because I know if they give any resistance to Dana, they are gonna get booted out… But with Dana, it was like he was out there; he was sick, had a crackly voice. Now's the time to bully him. Now is the time to harass him and corner him. He is literally there to be victimised by the MMA media right now, and all of them were just loading up softball questions to him."

When asked by Johnson about what he would ask White if he were in place of the reporters last weekend, the social media personality added:

"I don't know what question I would ask him, but it would start with 'listen here, you stupid fu*k.' That’s what it was. It would start with some heat, okay, and that would perk up Dana's attention real quick. He couldn't pretend not to hear that one."

Dana White shares shocking information about Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall

At the UFC 316 post-fight press conference, Dana White revealed to the reporters that Jon Jones was offered and accepted a deal to fight Tom Aspinall. However, the highly anticipated title unification fight has been clouded by recent rumors that Jones may retire and Aspinall may find a different opponent.

White added that 'Bones' cannot be forced to fight if he doesn't want to.

"Listen, you can't make people fight. If Jon doesn't want to fight, you can't make him fight. We can try to make him fight, we can throw things at him that inspire him to want to fight, but we'll figure it out."
