Movsar Evloev claims American Top Team head coach Dan Lambert informed him that Dana White was so uninterested during his last fight at UFC 297 that he opted to bet on NFL games instead of watching the bout. Evloev's last fight took place at UFC 297 against Arnold Allen, where he secured a unanimous decision victory. While many hardcore fans admired the technical intricacies of the fight, it drew criticism from notable figures like White, who famously dubbed it the "least fun fight ever," while also suggesting that he would have to deal with backlash from fans due to a lack of entertainment value.
Evloev was booed throughout the Scotiabank Arena as he left the building to continue his 18-fight winning streak. He later revealed on a podcast episode that White was so bored of his fight that he was placing bets on the NFL instead. “Dana said that my last fight was not entertaining,” Evloev said on the Badaev Podcast.
“Maybe he wanted to motivate me somehow or dampen my championship ambitions a little." "Then we talked with Dan Lambert after the fight. He said, ‘Movsar, I was sitting next to Dana White during your fight, and he was watching American Football.
’ He had apparently placed a bet somewhere during my fight," Evloev continued. "I told Dana, ‘I’m not here to amuse you, I came here for the belt.’ I’ll take the belt, and then we’ll see.
” It's uncertain which NFL games Dana White bet on, but on the same day as UFC 297, the Houston Texans faced the Balti.
