Dana White will put on UFC 249 on 9 May in Florida (Picture: Getty Images)Veteran boxing promoter Bob Arum says he has ‘very little respect’ for Dana White hosting UFC 249 on 9 May, describing the UFC president’s actions as ‘cowboy behaviour.’White has been adamant that he can continue to put on UFC events amid the coronavirus crisis and appears to have found a way with the fight card in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday night. Arum is not impressed with how quickly the UFC is returning to live action, believing it is risky and could damage other sports if anyone’s health is compromised as a result. We’re not gonna be cowboys, like Dana White. Arum feels the cautious approach shown by other sports is the one to take, rather than the aggressive policies shown by the UFC.
