Dana White explains what events transpired in order for UFC 279 press conference cancelation to happen

Dana White appeared in front of the media following the forced cancelation of the much-anticipated UFC 279 press conference, after events that transpired backstage.

Khamzat Chimaev and Kevin Holland allegedly got into a scuffle, which was then followed by Nate Diaz arriving with a team of over 50 members. The UFC president described things as getting "very physical" backstage, and that the situation could have been "much worse."

Dana White told the media:

"Multiple fighters were involved in this. The camps hadn't even gotten into it yet, but I could see where this was going. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out where this whole press conference was headed. There were so many people with all the camps, that once this started, it would have been a bad... now I have to start looking at an event going off if this continues."

Watch the interview below from 1:50:

White stating that an event cancelation could take place if this chaos continues will not just have the fans worried but the fighters on the card as well. With Nate Diaz also desperate to move on from the UFC and begin other ventures, a canceled UFC 279 will be the last thing he'd want.
