Former UFC fighter Darren Till has given his thoughts on Dana White not being asked tough enough questions by reporters.
For the longest time, Dana White hasn’t exactly had the best relationship with the media. More often than not, outside of post-fight press conferences, he tends to pick interviews that are going to be kind to him – or at least, that’s what his team opts to do.

Even at the aforementioned press conferences, White doesn’t really enjoy when he’s asked challenging questions. He’s an outspoken guy and he’s had a lot to say about many others in the combat sports space, but he doesn’t really feel the need to justify his actions all too much, whether it be the White House event or fighter pay.
In a recent social media post, Darren Till had the following to say on the media’s role in challenging White.

Till on White vs reporters
“MMA reporters once again failing to ask the questions us fans want,
Everytime I watch one of these media scrums after a UFC card it seems they are all so terrified of upsetting Dana & getting banned from having media passes.
“Or sometimes once again he gives half assed answers and they just accept it.
“The media are there to ask the uncomfortable questions and ask the questions we want to hear.
“Ariel Helwani although many are not fans of, over the years has even asked me uncomfortable questions.
“Never have I gone away and thought anything of him as the person. It’s his job, if we get offended by the uncomfortable questions fighter or promoter then it ain’t for you. Dana talks a lot about masculinity and tough men etc… but someone’s asks him a question he doesn’t like and you can see he gets all in his feelings, that’s not so tough from where I am standing to be honest.
“As I’ve said repeatedly I have utmost respect for Dana and for what he does.
“But getting annoyed or saying who gives a s*** when someone asks him a slightly uncomfortable question is f***ing gay as f***. Ha!! !! !!”
