Dana White REACTS to Colby Covington Leon Edwards Dad Trashtalk

Dana White reacts to the escalation in the trash talk this week highlighted by Colby Covington's trash talk involving Leon Edward's dad at the UFC 296 press conference.

Do you think the UFC should get involved in what Fighters Say?

[f-log]

so much respect to Leon for not getting emotional and controlling his corner. MMA fans may not love him because he’s not great on the mic, but he fights and carry’s himself like a true champion should

People have grown tired of the Mcgregor style of trash talk. It was entertaining at first, but in the long run it’s very toxic. I enjoy trash talk myself, but not when it’s centered around sensitive topics. Colby should’ve switched it up like Mayweather and fall back from all the trash talk. He’s still trying to sell himself as the “bad guy” when that style is already played out in 2023. It makes it look even worse when he wasn’t able to back it up against edwards.

Trash talking Colby Keebler lost, and decent Americans rooted for Leon. Let's make America honest, decent and tolerant. Colby you lost!

[naspayne]

I actually like trash talk, but that’s the kind of shit that is off limits. End of the day, Colby didn’t back up his “tough” talk when it came down to it. Big up Leon.

[brianrosner]

Bottom line is don’t cross that line that’s a no brainer if you have to talk about a deceased father for real.screw Colby beyond classless

[DoctorAustin]

I remember when martial arts were about discipline and respect.

[nrdify]

Colby is done. He has absolutely jumped the shark and we all need to stop paying attention to him.

[Ybby]

Dana says he hates it when fighters physically attack eachother. But he's the one doing all the seating arrangements! So he sat Strickland right infront of DDP. How can he be such a hypocrite?

[kevinarmstrong]

Colby definitely needs to tone down the bs and theatrics . It just makes you look worse when you lose .

[hodgej]

Just curious what Dana's response would be...Had Leon didn't WIN and his corner reacted the same way?

[RezwanulHaque-odji]

Imagine if it was Khabib rather than Leon
😅😅

[jamesmify]

Should be renamed the make America lose again card.

[whiskeyman]

I love how, at the end, he says we do everything in our power to make sure that this doesn't happen. Okay, then where is the fine??? Where is the punishment??? Of course there's none because they truly want this to happen.

[TheVoiceInYourHeadd]

He didn't have a problem with Conor talking about Khabib's dad.

[autoselectricos-americalat]

Dana White is back pedaling. If it's Gregor McConor trash talking, Dana White it's very Ok.

[kevinbrianfahy]

Backwards ass answer at 1:15. “100% yeah…no I don’t ever tell anybody what to say” 😂🤣😂

[Jason-wcfh]

Dana White can easily set out rules about trash talk being off limits to family, but you'll notice he carefully acknowledges it, but refuses to do anything about it. He actually grins a bit. Any hype and drama is more money in his pocket. He's also full of it when it comes to drama at press conferences. He's been front and center smiling between the fighters when they try and come at eachother. This guy is such a politician.

Conor: "Ya wife is in me DM's!"
Dana: "Isnt he just f*cking awesome?"

[patriciaoreilly]

Be professional at all times 😊 its a sport .
