"I think the kid is mentally ill" - Dana White goes off on 'absolute f***ing goofball' Joshua Fabia
UFC President Dana White recently made an appearance on the 'Real Quick with Mike Swick' podcast where he talked about a range of topics. During the podcast with Swick, White commented on the Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley fight and his old nemesis, Oscar De La Hoya.
When Swick asked the UFC president about Joshua Fabia's allegations that the company had asked Diego Sanchez to throw a fight, Dana White did not mince his words.
"That guy is such a f-----g goofball... If you take anything that that guy says seriously, you know, you should be f-----g beat with a stick, okay? I could give a flying f--k what that guy says. That guy is an absolute f-----g goofball. I mean, I think the kid is mentally ill. So, should I fire up the lawyers for a mentally ill f-----g goofball? You know what I mean? It's just a complete waste of time," said Dana White.
