Pulled out the back door, kicked out, no even shoes on.” When asked about the incident, Dana White denied the accusation and replied, “I guess ever since COVID, they started this thing where they get the fighters right out of here. I don’t know why that happened or what happened. We’re not gonna throw Johnny Walker out in the street, shoeless, I’m sure.”
