“A lot of the things that I do are by, I guess I would just say gut and how I think we should handle it,” Dana White instructed Tucker Carlson. “It’s not like, once more, my head of PR, she’s sensible and I respect her very a lot, however it’s not like the opposite evening after I came upon what Bryce Mitchell had stated It’s not like we received a bunch of legal professionals on the cellphone and we didn’t, you already know what I did? I received on Google and I began wanting up World Conflict II and, you already know, remind Bryce Mitchell on what a chunk of sh*t (Adolf) Hitler was, okay, let’s, and why he’s not an excellent man and why you wouldn’t need to go fishing with him And that was it. You recognize, I noticed folks saying, oh, he learn a can, I don’t ever learn can statements. No person writes something for me.
“…Nobody writes anything for me,” Dana White defined. “Everything is exactly how I feel about it, whether you like it or not. I don’t care. I don’t care if you like it — I don’t care if you don’t like it. This is my company and I’ll run it the way I want to.”
