Dana White is doubling her promise to make any UFC event pirate pay for her actions.
White recently attracted attention when he posted a vague threat to an Instagram commentator who claimed he could not wait to “pirate UFC 257 (bad words)”.
White’s answer?
“And I can’t wait to get (you) !!!” He wrote. “I have a surprise for (you) mother f * ckers this year.”
On Wednesday, White doubled his message.
“We have been one of the leagues that has been so proactive about piracy,” White said in an interview with TheMacLife. “I love how cool and tough these guys are on social media because – let me tell you, we caught a lot of people. Let me tell you what they do: they cry. They cry and beg not to be prosecuted and all that.
“… We have just overcome a major obstacle in the world of piracy and we are going to catch some of these guys in 2021, and I look forward to crying and begging. We’ll see how tough they are when they get caught. “
White said that some of the illegal streamers are actually scammers. In their comments on social media, people who claimed to have links to illegal streams deceived others looking for free viewing.
“If you go through my Instagram and go through all the comments, there’s a guy saying, ‘DM me if you want to fight this weekend.’ He’s stealing information from people, ”said White. “People who are dealing with him. He’s stealing your information. He’s taking his money from his bank and charging his credit card. These guys are disgusting criminals. “
Piracy will always exist, according to White, but as long as it exists, he will do his best to limit it. All the while, he will enjoy the legal punishment granted to perpetrators.
“They will never leave,” said White. “They will be out there, and we are not trying to get rid of them all. I just want to get some. That’s all I’m looking for. You can’t turn off the whole thing. This piracy industry will last forever. Let me get some and see what happens – and I will. Oh, it’s coming. “
