"Dana White takes responsibility for Sean Strickland brawl"

Dana White regrets sitting fighters Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis together, leading to a brawl at UFC 296. No punishment.

UFC 296 was a huge success, with a stacked card and plenty of memorable moments. However, the event was marred by a brawl between two fighters in the crowd. Dana White, the CEO of the UFC, expressed regret for seating the two fighters, Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis, so close to each other. He acknowledged that it was his responsibility to ensure that such incidents did not occur and was upset with himself for the oversight.

White was particularly surprised to learn that new footage showed Strickland making an effort to avoid hurting a child during the brawl. Despite his disappointment, White stated that neither Strickland nor du Plessis would face any punishment from the UFC. Instead, they will return to their training camps and continue preparing for their upcoming fight in the Octagon. Overall, while White was kicking himself for the mistake, he remained committed to ensuring the safety and integrity of the UFC.
