No way in hell! Womans BIZARRE request to get branded by Hall of Famer gets no go from UFC

Publish date: 2024-07-20

UFC CEO Dana White was happy at the post-fight press conference of the UFC St. Louis as the event became the highest-grossing domestic fight night. Funnily enough, a woman at the press conference had a bizarre request involving UFC Hall of Famer Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.

Cerrone had earlier challenged Dana White’s PBR bull Twisted Steel, and the woman, in turn, challenged Cerrone, offering the Hall of Famer to brand ‘BMF’ on her if he successfully rode the bull. When she revealed the challenge to Dana White for approval, the UFC CEO had a hilarious response.

You and Cowboy were made for each other...You're nuts...There's no way in hell I'll make that happen...You're cr*zy.

White said the woman looked sweet and shouldn’t be doing things like that. However, when she revealed she had branded somebody else, White alluded the woman was into some ‘weird sh*t.’ Nevertheless, White pointed one of his employees to the woman to make her wish happen. Donald Cerrone’s matchup with Twisted Steel is on May 18th.

For White, only good things are ahead. White revealed UFC 303, headlined by Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, is on the way to make more than $20 million live gate. Funnily enough, Joaquin Buckley had called out McGregor after he defeated Nursulton Ruziboev in the co-main event of UFC St. Louis. Even though White revealed the fight won’t happen, he appreciated Buckley’s performance.

Dana White praises Joaquin Buckley for impressive performance

Joaquin Buckley got the opportunity to fight in his hometown of St. Louis after he forced White to make it. Buckley was not on the UFC’s original plans but crashed the UFC 300 press conference, asking for a main event spot in his hometown.

Buckley did not get a ranked opponent, but Nursulton Ruziboev was a dangerous outing. Moreover, Buckley made a series of trolls preluding the fight and put the onus on himself to make an exciting fight. He did exactly that, and UFC CEO Dana White appreciated it.

He [Joaquin Buckley] fought a guy [Nursulton Ruziboev] that was smashing people in the first round, and he went out and took the fight to him. Yeah, incredible performance in your hometown. In my experience, it's funny because you have some guys who are like, "It's my dream to fight in my hometown," but most people don't want to fight in their hometowns. It's a lot of pressure...Buckley called for this, came out, he delivered.

White revealed Buckley’s rankings were on the line at the fight, and the performance would make him an overnight sensation. Though he called out Conor McGregor, Buckley revealed at the post-fight press conference that Gilbert Burns was who he wanted next.
