Dana White has been taking a lot of stick for the UFC's decision to fire legendary cutman Jacob "Stitch" Duran following negative comments about the Reebok deal which has caused him, and many UFC fighters, to lose sponsorship revenue after being forced to exclusively wear Reebok gear in the Octagon.
Upon hearing the news of Stitch's dismissal, UFC fans and even some fighters have voiced their discontent through social media, and last night Dana White responded, and he doesn't give a shit.
He had some free time yesterday evening and decided to do an impromptu Q & A on twitter, but everyone who complained about the Reebok deal seemed to get a personal insult in response.

One the one hand, it's kind of refreshing to see the president of a major sports organisation giving some of the stick back on twitter as opposed to the usual corporate bullshit, but on the other hand, a lot of people are legitimately upset and have just been insulted on top of that.
Either way, the Reebok deal isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. That's for sure.
