Dana White Stumped On UFC Belgrade Card Question

Dana White drew blank when a reporter asked him to name which fights on this weekend's UFC Belgrade card he's most excited to watch.

The UFC president was stumped at Thursday's press conference in Serbia, pausing before calling the question "shitty" and glancing down at his notes, per MMA Mania. "Obviously everyone's always excited about the main event," White said. "I'm just hoping for … I want a few 'Holy s--t' moments on Saturday night so hopefully we get a few of those."

White's Answer Sparks Criticism From Fans

The exchange highlighted White's reduced day-to-day involvement in UFC operations as he focuses on Zuffa Boxing and other ventures. He no longer negotiates contracts or handles matchmaking, and fans online were quick to point out his apparent unfamiliarity with the Belgrade roster. "He couldn't name more than three fighters on the card if you lined them up in front of him," one wrote.

The card features rising Serbian welterweight Uros Medic, who's riding a three-fight knockout streak, against Daniel Rodriguez in the main event. Former heavyweight/" class="internal-link text-bone underline decoration-ash/30 hover:decoration-gold underline-offset-2">light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz faces undefeated prospect Navajo Stirling, who took the fight on a week's notice. Hometown fighter Vlasto Cepo and lightweight Mateusz Rebecki, who's earned Fight of the Night bonuses in three of his past four appearances, also compete.

UFC Fight Night: Medic vs. Rodriguez airs Saturday from Belgrade.
