MMA personality Ben Davis gives six-word reaction as Dana White hints at streaming his BKFC fight with Oscar Willis illegally
Ben Davis has responded to UFC CEO Dana White's remarks regarding his recent bare-knuckle boxing match against Oscar Willis. White has long advocated for eradicating illegal streaming in combat sports, yet his latest comments suggest a potential double standard.
Davis faced Willis at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) event in Spain, where Willis won by first-round TKO. The match caught the attention of many, including Conor McGregor, co-owner of BKFC, who was present at the event.
After the latest episode of 'Dana White's Contender Series,' White spoke to the media, revealing his efforts to watch the fight. He said:
"Yes, I did see it... I won’t tell you how I watched it, but I watched it,"
This prompted speculation that he may have illegally streamed the bout.
In a lighthearted reaction, Davis took to social media to comment on White's hints, writing:
“Dana watched my fight on StreamEast 😭.”

Dana White hints at creating a new atomweight division as the UFC develops talent from South America and Asia
Dana White is considering the establishment of an atomweight division, potentially the lowest weight class in mainstream MMA. This idea emerged during a recent 'DWCS' press conference, where White discussed the rich talent pool from South America and Asia.
A media member pointed out the significant number of fighters weighing 105 pounds in Latin America, prompting White to express his thoughts on launching a new division:
"That's the other thing. As you start talking about South America, you start to talk about Asia, whether it's China or Japan or [South] Korea, we keep cultivating talent in these places. We might end up creating another division."
When pressed further about the possibility of an atomweight division, he affirmed:
"Yeah, that’s what I just said."
