Dana White also put everyone on notice that incidents like the one between Dan Hardy and Herb Dean will absolutely not be tolerated.
“If you work for me in any capacity and you approach a referee or judge or an official, I will fire you that night on the spot. That can never happen here again…You want to criticize judges, you want to criticize referees, you didn’t agree with a decision or things like that … we love (it)….If you’re a fighter, and you put your hands on or threaten any official, you will never, ever fight here again, period.” Dana White.
