Amid public questions about his involvement in the UFC, its president Dana White has come out to deny that he has "disconnected" from the organization. In recent statements, White noted that his role as CEO has him involved in multiple projects, but that his dedication to the UFC remains total and that he wants the world to see what the promotion has in store in 2026 and 2027. Backed by the recent broadcast rights agreement with Paramount+, White assured that he remains deeply invested in growing the sport globally.
