The boss wasn’t happy.
UFC Nashville went down last night (Sat., Aug. 5, 2023) inside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, and while the event as a whole had a bunch of energy with fun fights up and down the card, the main event was an absolute snoozer. Cory Sandhagen dominated Rob Font for 25 minutes en route to a unanimous decision, but it was mainly Sandhagen wrestling and controlling Font.
The Nashville crowd booed from the second round on and didn’t let up at all. To make it even worse, UFC president Dana White got up and left the fight during the fourth round, according to the outlet Spinnin Backfist.
A fan in attendance also reported White left during the main event.
White also skipped the UFC Nashville post-fight press conference, and because of that, no one got to hear his thoughts on the main event.
This isn’t the first time the UFC President has left a main event due to disappointment. He infamously left during the UFC 270 main event when Francis Nagnnou defeated Ciryl Gane and also during Derek Brunson vs. Kevin Holland in 2021 at UFC Vegas 21.
Who knows, maybe he snuck off to watch Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul at this hotel.
