\nexchange<\/h2>\n

When White was asked which fight on the upcoming Fight Night card
\nhe\u2019s most looking forward to ahead of the promotion\u2019s debut in
\nSerbia, the UFC head honcho snapped at the reporter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a sh*tty question, my friend,\u201d White replied. \u201cI just want
\na few holy sh*t moments, so hopefully we get a few of those.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some fans interpreted White’s response as further evidence that
\nhe\u2019s no longer as engaged with MMA amidst his growing involvement
\nin other ventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish a reporter would flat out ask him why he doesn\u2019t care about
\nthe UFC anymore,\u201d one user wrote<\/a> in response to White\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot sure why he hated the question about his product. He\u2019s putting
\non a card in Serbia and should be promoting the fighters, arena,
\ncity, and building some excitement. Horrible answer,\u201d another user
\ncommented<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UFC Belgrade features several key matchups White could\u2019ve chosen to
\nput the spotlight on, including Uros Medic<\/a>\u2019s
\nhomecoming against Daniel
\nRodriguez<\/a> in the main event and former champion Jan
\nBlachowicz<\/a> looking to return to winning ways against the
\nundefeated Navajo
\nStirling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reporter asked Dana White which fight
\nhe’s most excited for at UFC Serbia… and he couldn’t give an
\nanswer. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n
