Dana White criticizes Ian Machado Garry UFC330
by Bloomvapor: Dana White
The Diary of a CEO dropped Dana White's take on Ian Machado Garry after UFC330. White said you don't shake hands or hug Islam Makhachev in the fifth round when you're fighting possibly the greatest fighter of all time. Even if you did a damn good job for four rounds and battered his face, that is not when you show love. You wait until they are strapping the belt on you to do that. Garry was younger, bigger, and rangier, yet he failed to shock the world in those final five minutes. Everything you ever dreamed of could happen then, but the killer instinct just wasn't there.
