“Everything he said was absolutely f**king gibberish” – Dana White claps back at Luke Rockhold for healthcare complaints
Dana White and Luke Rockhold
Luke Rockhold made headlines earlier this week after his all-timer rant against the promotion, its boss, and its fighter’s treatment. Dana White doesn’t take too long to respond to any form of criticism against his company.
UFC is never free from poor fighter treatment accusations. From Jon Jones, Francis Ngannou, and now, Luke Rockhold, many superstars have bashed the company for not treating its fighters right. Most of the accusations against the UFC are the wages that they pay fighters, the health care, and also how the contracts are set up by the company.
Luke is returning from a three-year-long hiatus and in his pre-fight media scrum he absolutely went in on the UFC boss Dana White and his fighter treatment. Dana, ahead of UFC 278 sat down for an interview with TSN reporter, Aaron Bronsteter. In the interview, Dana responded to Luke’s accusations and labeled them as completely false.
Dana White says Luke Rockhold has got elite health care from the UFC
Luke has been suffering injuries in recent years and is unsatisfied with the way the company looked after his health. A lot of fighters have wanted the UFC to provide them with health care even after their contracts have run down. Dana in the TSN responded to Luke’s rant and said, “Luke Rockhold, was above and beyond taken care of with the issues that he had here.”
White on Rockhold's comments on long-term health care for UFC athletes: "That's something we've been working on since day 1, but, while they're fighting here, they're very well taken care of."

“I don’t give a sh*t what health insurance plan you have, they would have never covered the things that we covered for Rockhold when he was going through his stuff. Everything he said was absolute f**king gibberish and absolute bullsh*t,” Dana bashed Luke for making false accusations.
Dana, till today has not ruled out the possibility of lifetime health care for the UFC fighters. The UFC boss has said many times that it is a very tough task to achieve and despite that the company is still working on it. “We’ve been working on that since we started this company,” added Dana on lifetime health care for fighters.
