USADA’s relationship with the UFC may be coming to an end, but the war of words between Dana White and the anti-doping agency’s CEO, Travis Tygart, is far from over.

On Wednesday, Tygart revealed in a statement that USADA would no longer be working with the UFC come January 1, 2024, citing that the pair’s relationship had become “untenable” over the return of megastar Conor McGregor. White called the comments pure “scumbagism” while the EVP of the UFC, Hunter Campbell claimed that Tygart’s assessment of the situation was a “complete misrepresentation of what occurred over the last several months.”

Speaking with TheMACLife, Dana White expanded on his thoughts regarding the recent rift with USADA, saying:

“Listen, it is what it is, they did what they did. And think about this, right? They’re in a business where they’re looking to bring other sports leagues in. They were with us for eight years. We helped put them on the map. They helped us build an incredible program.

“This is how you’re going to end your relationship with us? Who else would want to do business with these guys after that? Not me. So, it doesn’t matter to me. We’re moving on, and good luck to them” (h/t MMA Fighting).

Dana White Once Again Slams USADA CEO Travis Tygart

On Thursday, the promotion announced that as of 2024, the UFC would partner with Drug Free Sport International, the anti-doping agency that currently handles duties for the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NCAA.

Of course, Dana White couldn’t resist taking one more dig at Travis Tygart in front of cameras, likening the USADA CEO to the perpetually unhinged pop star, Britney Spears.

“Listen, this guy went full Britney Spears and lost his mind,” White said. “Get ready. You’re probably going to see this guy on Instagram dancing with knives probably in the next to weeks or something. He went nuts, he lost his mind, and it is what it is. It’s whatever.”

Needless to say, there is no love lost between USADA and the UFC.

Michael Chandler, "Iron" Mike

Michael Chandler brought out his entertainment chops to perform “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.

Former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler is coming off a win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 274. “Iron” Mike became the first man to ever knockout “El Cucuy”, a feat he accomplished with a deadly front kick to the face. As if his historic victory wasn’t enough, Chandler doubled down on his performance with an electrifying promo.

It appears that Chandler had another trick up his sleeve he did not showcase in MMA.

Michael Chandler channels his inner Britney Spears to perform “Baby One More Time”

Taking to his Instagram, Michael Chandler shared a video of his appearance at The Masked Singer Live TV show. The show is a top-secret singing competition featuring celebrities such as Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Nick Cannon, and more. These superstars face off against each other anonymously, well for a brief period.

Following suit with the protocol of the show, the 36-year-old Missouri native dressed up in an elaborate costume with a full face mask to hide his identity.

Chandler appears to be dressed in a techy outfit that resembles a fancy cassette tape, a media format replaced by CDs decades ago. He’s also wearing an oversized mask but what sealed the deal was his personal rendition of “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.

The man’s not just fighting, he’s also singing, and he’s not only singing, but he’s also dancing and performing like a true entertainer. Towards the end of his show, singer Natasha Bedingfield unveiled his identity to a raging crowd at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. While he did receive a favorable reception, it would’ve been wilder had it been at a UFC event.

This past weekend, another clip of “Iron” Mike did rounds online. During the mentioned electrifying promo, Chandler called out multiple people except for Dustin Poirier, one notable name who took issue with it and confronted Chandler at UFC 276 in the saga of their growing beef.
