Carneiro Blasts White Over Nascimento Post

Renato Carneiro publicly criticized Dana White for what he described as an insensitive Instagram post in the wake of fellow fighter Alan Nascimento's death.

Carneiro took to social media to call out the UFC CEO, according to Sherdog, posting in Portuguese that White made a mistake by sharing a photo that appeared celebratory shortly after news of Nascimento's passing. "Dana messed up this one," Carneiro wrote, per the report, questioning the timing of White's post that showed him enjoying himself.

Carneiro Questions White's Timing

The Brazilian featherweight reportedly expressed frustration that the UFC president posted images of himself smoking cigars and appearing to celebrate while the MMA community mourned Nascimento. Carneiro ended his social media post with a religious reference, writing "Only Jesus saves," according to the Sherdog story.

Nascimento, a flyweight competitor who appeared on Dana White's Contender Series, passed away recently. The circumstances surrounding his death have not been publicly detailed by the UFC or the fighter's team.

White has not responded to Carneiro's criticism as of this writing.
