Dana White Says That Corey Anderson Was Doing “Crybaby Bullsh*t” During Fight Week
UFC President Dana White apparently had a lot of crap to deal with from Anderson in the lead up to the bout, as he claims Anderson did a lot of “crybaby bullsh*t” before UFC 244.
“So he came in here very angry this week. All these conspiracy theories, we hate him, we this, that and everything else, all this crybaby bullsh*t,” White said at the UFC 244 post-fight press conference (via Damon Martin of MMA Fighting). “We’re trying to get him beat. We can’t get you beat. You can either win or you can’t. We like Walker better or whatever the stuff he was saying. No, some guys move faster than others, you’re telling us what you deserve. Show us what you deserve. Tonight you showed us. Got it. Message received. Now we know.”
Anderson acted out in an over emotional way after his victory at UFC 244, but would later issue an apology through Twitter.
A victorious Anderson called for a light heavyweight title shot after UFC 244, but White says there are other contenders who want the gold as well.
“I’m not saying you’re getting a title shot next or whatever. [Dominick] Reyes won, too, impressively. We’ll figure out what’s next for you and when your contract is up, if you still don’t want to be here, you can do whatever you want to do,” White said. “In the mean time, take the fights that we offer you. Pretty simple. We’re not trying to get you beat. We’re not trying to get anybody beat. If you think you deserve a shot at the title, how am I going to get you beat with the No. 11 or 14th-ranked guy in the world or whatever he was tonight, if you deserve a title shot?”
Reyes, who White mentioned in the above statement, is ranked three spots ahead of Anderson the light heavyweight division.
