Dana White states his disappointment on the first night of DWCS 2022

In the post-fight press conference for DWCS season 6, Dana White expressed his disappointment with the opening night performances.

White told the media that he thought nobody other than Joe Pyfer delivered a world-class performance on Tuesday night:

"This is a huge opportunity for these kids and it's like alright you had a sh***y first round, well lets get after it on the second round, you know what I mean? Let's get after it on the third round. I saw none of that tonight. I saw nobody trying until Pyfer... And even when their fights were over... nobody thought they delivered tonight. Nobody was acting like they thought they were onto bigger things. I didn’t feel that at all."
