There’s no denying that Dana White is always on the lookout for the next big talent worldwide. As he’s mentioned, the UFC CEO aims to sell those “Holy Sh*t” moments to the world. White needs the ‘baddest’ fighters to do that. The 55-year-old was set to attend Z-Fight Night, the promotion of UFC fighter Korean Zombie, after UFC 310 weekend. However, the promotion recently announced that he won’t be attending the South Korean card due to unforeseen circumstances.
Z-Fight Night has announced that White will no longer attend their South Korea card on December 14th to film Lookin’ for a Fight due to the recent declaration of martial law in the country. White was planning to travel to meet potential signees, including Dorobshokh Nabotov, a UFC 308 press conference fighter, and other prospects. However, now his absence is a significant change for the event as it would have motivated the fighters and given promotion a solid boost with his presence.
“Due to the declaration of martial law in South Korea on December 3, Dana White, who was scheduled to attend ZFN 02 on December 14, will unfortunately no longer be able to attend the event. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to his visit. ZFN will do its best to invite Dana White to a future event,” ZFN announced.

Dana White had big plans to head to South Korea—he was excited to catch Nabotov in action and show love for Korean Zombie, the UFC legend who’s now diving into promotion after retiring. But with things still shaky in South Korea, White pulled the plug on the trip. But, the promotion promised to bring him out to a future event.
Jake Paul Lambasted On Dana White
After a recent Power Slap promo video dropped, Dana White found himself under fire from Jake Paul. The video, featuring a young woman in a suitcase, was called out by Paul as desperate and inappropriate. Paul didn’t stop there—he also questioned the professionalism of a married, wealthy businessman trying to stir up controversy for shock value.
“55 yrs old, wheeling around 20 yr old only fans girls to try and get views? Clout chasing & ego has no age limit. Imagine being worth $500m, married with kids & posting these cringe videos. Using UFC accounts to get people to watch your slap party on-line,” Paul said.
