Dana White, the CEO of the UFC, has sparked controversy with his recent comments on mental health. In an interview, White stated that men should not publicly discuss their mental health struggles, as it can reveal their weaknesses to others.
White's comments have been met with backlash, with many criticizing his views on toxic masculinity. He has previously stated that men should not openly share emotional struggles on social media, and has now distanced himself from the term 'toxic masculinity.'
Despite the controversy, White has revealed new details about the upcoming Freedom 250 event, including plans to feature the national anthem before the fights and reserving seats for active military personnel.
The event will be headlined by Ilia Topuria defending the featherweight title against Justin Gaethje, and will also feature a co-main event between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane.
