Dana White on taking care of Joe Pyfer: He said he was about to be homeless, and 'that ain't gonna happen'
LAS VEGAS – UFC president Dana White ’s reason for helping Joe Pyfer was simple. Pyfer (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who was the lone fighter to earn a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series 47 earlier this summer, opened up to White, and it paid off. Pyfer told him that he had nowhere to live, so White gave him enough money to pay for a year’s worth of rent, which Pyfer was very grateful for . When asked why he did it, White said it’s not the first time he’s taken care of a fighter in this manner. “I do a lot of things for a lot of people that I don’t necessarily talk about,” White told reporters at the DWCS 55 post-fight press conference. “Joe Pyfer, when I left the press conference that night, he told me he was about to be homeless. So, that ain’t gonna happen.” Related Dana White praises Jose Aldo for helping build UFC, shares favorite moment Dana White doesn't think 17-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. is too green for UFC: 'This kid is legit' During his UFC Fight N...
