Dana White brutally snubbed Logan Paul’s UFC 300 offer
White has been doing everything possible to make the UFC a mainstream sports league for decades.
However, he has seemingly drawn the line at inviting YouTubers to compete inside the famous Octagon.
Logan Paul recently revealed he was brutally snubbed by White after offering to fight at UFC 300.
“I told Dana for UFC 300, I texted him, ‘Hey man, consider me available to fight on the undercard in the Sphere,” the influencer said.
“Basically, completely ignored me, which I think speaks volumes. I haven’t bothered him about it since.”
