UFC CEO Dana White remains unhinged regarding confrontations against people he strongly disagrees with.

Dana White Gleams Over UFC 294 Changes: "It had 10 million views"

After the UFC announced it would no longer work with USADA beginning next year, White followed up with assembled media to discuss the aftermath of the fallout. In typical White fashion, he gave everyone an unforgettable soundbite that will likely be replayed for years.

 "I summed it up yesterday in one word, 'scumbag,'" White said. "Listen, it is what it is. They did what they did. Think about this, right. They're in a business where they're looking to bring other sports leagues in. They were with us for eight years. We helped put them on the map. They helped us build an incredible program. This is how you're gonna end your relationship with us? Who else would want to do business off of that? Not me. It doesn't matter to me. We're moving on, and good luck to them."

White then delivered the finishing blow about how the relationship with USADA was left.

"Listen, this guy [Travis Tygart] went full Britney Spears, and lost his mind," White said. "Get ready, you're probably gonna see this guy on Instagram dancing with knives, probably in the next two weeks or something. He went nuts. He lost his mind, and you know, it is what it is."

The announcement came in the aftermath of former UFC champion Conor McGregor entering the testing pool, which USADA seemed to do reluctantly. McGregor has been linked to a potential return at UFC 300 in April.
