I like how cool and hard these guys act on social media as a result of – let me let you know what, we have caught lots of people. Let me tell you what they do: They cry,” White mentioned about crack streams hosts. “They cry, and so they beg to not be prosecuted and all this different stuff. We simply overcame an enormous hurdle within the piracy world, and we’ll catch a few of these guys in 2021. And I stay up for the crying and the begging… We’ll see how robust they’re once they get caught.”
Whereas White is aware that the battle against piracy won’t be received quickly, the UFC president nonetheless hopes that his threats will discourage pirated stream users during the event.
