Earlier this month, former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub became the latest in a long list of fighters<\/a> to butt heads with UFC President Dana White<\/a> \u2014 and boy, did they ever butt heads.<\/a><\/p>\n

According to former UFC lightweight Josh Thompson, Schaub probably won’t be the last fighter to find themselves embroiled in a public dispute with White, either. In fact, Thomson said White could become the latest public figure to be targeted by the #MeToo movement, which supports survivors of sexual assault and harassment, and exposes the perpetrators of these acts.<\/p>\n

Thomson broke it down on his podcast, Sammy and the Punk.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people that I\u2019ve been close with, that have fought for the UFC for a long time, and they have had very similar problems to what Brendan\u2019s having right now,\u201d Thomson said (transcribed by\u00a0Adam Guillen Jr. for\u00a0MMA Mania<\/a>). \u201cWhere he was dating a girl that maybe Dana was trying to date, or either dating at the time, and that girl kind of liked somebody else.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just became an issue,” he continued. “Like all of a sudden that person wasn\u2019t on pay-per-view anymore. All of a sudden that person was getting cut for no reason. It was little things like that. It just seems really \u2014 it\u2019s so funny. For someone who has made $364 million. Really? I just don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m talking about people that have, I don\u2019t want to put anybody else\u2019s name out there on blast, but there are people that were so ingrained, world champions, so ingrained in the company that are now are no longer even heard of, that Dana has either tried to hang out with that person\u2019s wife. Or he tried to basically like, there is just so many different…I can\u2019t even get into this man. I don\u2019t want to get in on all that. For this to happen, it\u2019s true. This is exactly what you would expect from Dana. It\u2019s unfortunate because he is such a high-profile person. Honestly, in this situation you got to be careful Dana, because in this whole movement of Me Too, just wait for one girl to speak up and be like, \u2018You know what? I\u2019m on Brendan\u2019s side.\u2019 Think about it it, I can see it, he is a guy with high powers worth hundreds of millions.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think of Josh Thomson’s comments on Dana White?<\/p>\n
