Dana White Talks Deontay Wilder's 'Bulls--t' Costume and Tyson Fury in UFC

Rob BlanchetteMar 2, 2020

Dana White has criticized Deontay Wilder's choice to wear a heavy costume to the ring before his heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury.

White told TMZ he wouldn't allow a fighter in the UFC to follow Wilder's attire decision and that the costume might have played a part in the Bronze Bomber's defeat to the Gypsy King:

"I think there's a lot to it. Fury looked awesome. ... Fury fought a perfect fight. But, if you think about boxing and fights when fighters are getting ready, they're in the back. They're relaxing. Some guys sleep. Some guys just lay around and chill. Then you get up, you time it out, and you do your warm-up. Then you throw something on to stay warm. You don't put all this gear on and all this stuff. That's why I don't do any of that bulls--t in the UFC. I don't like it. I don't like any of that."

Fury dominated Wilder during the second title fight between the pair, with the Brit earning a seventh-round technical knockout.

White added he's been impressed with Fury's skill set and remains interested in the boxer's fighting career, admitting he would "love" to see Fury in UFC one day.

"I'm interested in the future of Tyson Fury in all combat sports," White said. "... I'm excited to see him no matter where he goes. If he wants to fight in the UFC, I would love it. I'm excited to see what's next for him in boxing."

Wilder's big-hitting style had no impact on his opponent in Las Vegas, and the 34-year-old was thoroughly outboxed by a motivated Fury.

The Manchester-born fighter controlled the ring, and showed off his power by twice knocking down his opponent before Wilder's corner threw in the towel during the seventh round.

Fury would be a huge draw in UFC; the heavyweight champion is a master at promoting himself and potential fights.

The Englishman has the personality to transcend combat sports, and his ability to fight to a game plan would entertain MMA fans.
