UFC President Dana White commented on the Wanderlei Silva “lifetime ban” from competing in the state of Nevada in his latest “UFC Download” interview.
“I think he was trying to put up a smoke screen. Look over here because he does it a few days before he’s about to go in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission,” said White. “The guy ran from a drug test. … I’ve been saying it for a long time that he was going to get something serious.”
White continued, “I didn’t see a lifetime ban coming, but probably the worst thing you can do is run from a drug test. You can’t run from a drug test.”
Following his tirade against the UFC and the announcement that he has retired from the sport of MMA, White wished “The Axe Murderer” nothing but the best.
“I’ve never said a bad thing about Wanderlei Silva in my life,” he said. “I’ve always respected the guy and there is no way that guy can ever say that myself or Lorenzo Fertitta ever disrespected him. There’s nothing more that needs to be said.”
