“22M Views”- Dana White Celebrates Belal Muhammad’s Record Amid Rumors Of Disappointing UFC 304 Fight

Dana White and Belal Muhammad

A surprising story has emerged from the octagon in the aftermath of UFC 304. Dana White, the UFC’s outspoken CEO, is singing praises of new welterweight champion Belal Muhammad. Despite whispers that White was less than thrilled with the main event, the UFC head honcho is happy for the 36-year-old. It seems Muhammad’s victory has sparked more than just a title change; it has ignited a digital firestorm.

Speaking to Kevin Iole, White dropped a bombshell statistic. Muhammad’s championship belt-wrapping video racked up a staggering 22 million views. To put that in perspective, it’s nearly triple the views of heavyweight interim champion Tom Aspinall’s similar moment.

This digital triumph contradicts Muhammad’s reputation, as he is often labeled a “boring” fighter. The Palestinian-American has let his actions speak louder than words. Now, it seems those actions are resonating with fans in a big way. The irony isn’t lost on the MMA community, as Muhammad outperformed some of the sport’s biggest personalities in the digital arena.

Dana White’s enthusiasm is particularly noteworthy given the swirling rumors about UFC 304’s main event. Some reports suggested the fight underwhelmed the UFC boss itself. Yet here he was, trumpeting Muhammad’s success. It’s a reminder that victory comes in many forms in the fight game, and for Muhammad, it came in the form of a record-shattering view count!

Dana White Reveals Real Reason For UFC 304 Outburst

The outspoken UFC CEO, White, recently set the record straight about his alleged reaction to Belal Muhammad’s title win. In a recent interview, he addressed the swirling rumors with his characteristic blend of bluntness and wit.

White didn’t pull any punches when discussing the aftermath of UFC 304 at the post-fight press conference. He went off on Muhammad’s performance against Leon Edwards, but now he is coming out with an explanation for his outburst.

”Let me say this to be fair, I was tired. I was in a bad mood. I was, you know, at that press conference, and you know it depends on when you catch me,” said White while talking to Kevin Iole.

Dana White went on to explain that his demeanor at the post-fight press conference wasn’t a reflection of his feelings about Muhammad’s victory. His mood at the press conference, it turns out, was more about fatigue than frustration. It’s a reminder that even in the high-octane world of mixed martial arts, sometimes people just need a nap and a coffee!
