Thus being the case with Usman and UFC president, Dana White.<\/p>\n<p>After Usman defeated Emil Meek at UFC St Louis in January, his post-fight speech stirred up anger among some viewers. It was a dominant wrestling performance by Usman but when saying in\u00a0his post-fight\u00a0interview that he was only at 30 percent, it didn&#8217;t help. White commented to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sVdHhp504o4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie<\/a> after that fight saying the following.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI didn\u2019t love that fight. Yeah, he\u2019s a tough guy. Yeah, he can impose his will. But you don\u2019t jump up and start acting like you knocked somebody out and say you only went 30 percent. So what\u2019s that mean?
