UFC President Dana White is hoping none of the fighters under contract with the promotion is linked to the Biogenesis scandal. “Obviously, it’s an athletic commission issue, but it’s just one of those things,” White said. “It’s just another f—king headache I don’t need.” The executive hasn’t been keeping tabs on the story and said he had no idea how he’d handle it if UFC fighters are linked to the shuttered South Florida clinic, which reportedly supplied performance-enhancers to more than a half-dozen MLB stars. This past week, a Biogenesis employee-turned-whisteblower said the number of athletes connected to the clinic actually numbers more than a hundred and includes athletes from MLB, NBA, NCAA, tennis, pro boxing and MMA. So far, no MMA athletes have been named in connection with the scandal and subsequent investigation into the clinic. But White said he would deal with it if that happens. White, though, said he needed to learn more information before deciding a course of action. Following this past Saturday’s UFC on FOX 8 event, which took place at KeyArena in Seattle, he peppered reporters with questions about the case and what kinds of drugs Biogenesis had supplied to athletes. He did not say definitively if he would cut a UFC fighter who appears on the clinic’s client list, but said, “If a guy signs a contract with me and then comes out a list, it’s not going to be good.
