“I can’t stand soccer, I think it’s the least talented sport on Earth. There’s a reason why 3-year-old kids can play soccer”, said Dana White, the UFC president.
He also questioned the lack of goals in this sport and stated that he did not understand how millions of people could be passionate about matches that end 0-0.
His statements sparked strong reactions among fans and journalists. Many defend the tactics, technique, and physical demands as part of what makes the most popular sport on the planet so special.
