Dana White lost a wager at the
Brand Risk 14 influencer fight event.
Influencer Bob Menery
was knocked out in the first round by former NFL quarterback
Johnny
Manziel at the event. White had bet $10,000 on Menery not to
show up at all. White claims he had wholeheartedly believed that
Menery wouldn’t show up until he stepped inside the ring. In case
of Menery showing up, White had expected the fight to go exactly
the way it did. Despite losing the wager, White gives Menery his
flowers for showing up.

“Menery showed up,” White told Fred
Talks Fighting. “And the fight went the way I had expected if
he did show up… I did [lose $10,000]. And I didn’t believe it until
he actually stepped inside the ring. So he did it. I absolutely
positively did not think he would show up, and he did. Much respect
to Bob for showing up.”
Poorly Prepared to Fight
White also confirmed that he is not interested in watching Menery
fight ever again. The UFC head honcho claims Menery was kicked out
of the Red Rock Casino on the morning of the fight in a drunk
state.
“The guy got kicked out of Red Rock Casino at 4 a.m. in the
morning, s—faced drunk,” White said.
White has known Menery since the latter was a member of the Nelk
Boys. Menery exited the group after a falling out last
year.
