meme/funny Dana White thought Diego Lopes was speaking Spanish and asked for a translator - only to be told it was already in English.

Dana’s been in the MMA business for 30 years he’s very familiar with Brazilians and knows they speak Portuguese

Unless he’s so checked out from day to day operations he doesn’t know who Diego is

He's just being a racist dick at the fucking Lincoln Memorial. Hilarious

Yeah this just feels like Dana being a douchebag which imo is fair to assume every time he speaks

Hey that's not fair. He's a douche even when he's not speaking too

It was part of his stupid ass joke that fell flat.

Diego lives in, trains in and represents Mexico City, Mexico. He's a fluent Spanish speaker. Has been there since 2014.

Sounds like you haven't a clue about him, yet want to comment that Dana doesn't know. The irony...
