Tony Ferguson has given us numerous fantastic fights over his 13-year career, but his greatest gift of all may have been coining the term “Dana White Privilege.”
“El Cucuy” dropped the phrase at this past week’s UFC 262 pre-event press conference, using it to describe why former Bellator champ Michael Chandler was fighting for the UFC title in just his second bout for the promotion. To his credit, White didn’t take offense, instead calling it “hilarious.” He even gave Ferguson a little taste of Dana White privilege by granting his request to raise the night’s bonuses from $50,000 to $75,000.
While White insists he doesn’t play favorites, it certainly never hurts to be in the good graces of the boss. So right now, which UFC fighter could most use a little Dana White privilege in their life?
That’s the question “Spinning Back Clique” host John Morgan asked the panel of “Gorgeous” George Garcia, Brian “Goze” Garcia and Nolan King.
You can watch their discussion in the video above, and this week’s full episode below.
