Dana White: We're going to catch some of these guys in 2021
The pirated streaming of the card certainly impacts the overall earning of UFC and the company's associates, which is what made president Dana White come out all guns blazing over piracy ahead of UFC 257.
It all started with Dana White answering to a UFC fan on his Instagram feed saying, "I can't wait to catch you!" The threat issued by Dana White did not seem to have real-world consequences and had people making jokes and memes about it all over social media.
However, Dana White made it amply clear over the next few interviews that UFC was very serious about not only stopping pirated streaming but catching and persecuting those responsible.
"We've been one of the leagues that have been so proactive on piracy. I love how cool and tough these guys act on social media because – let me tell you what, we've caught a lot of people. Let me tell you what they do: They cry," White said about crack streams hosts. "They cry, and they beg not to be prosecuted and all this other stuff. We just overcame a huge hurdle in the piracy world, and we're going to catch some of these guys in 2021. And I look forward to the crying and the begging… We'll see how tough they are when they get caught," Dana White had said on the matter.
In this regard, Dana White and co. willl have the backing of the newly-passed US law called Protecting Lawful Streaming Act of 2020 that makes large-scale streaming of copyright material a felony.
