Why Dana White Refuses to Promote Muay Thai – The Real Reason
UFC President Dana White recently made headlines after commenting on kickboxing and Muay Thai, saying he prefers Muay Thai over kickboxing—but still has no plans to promote it. In this solo episode, Jonathan Puu breaks down Dana's statements, the deeper reasons UFC is investing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and boxing, and what this means for the future of Muay Thai globally.
Jonathan also explores the missed opportunities for UFC to bring striking-only combat sports like Muay Thai to mainstream audiences, and whether "UFC Striking" could ever become a reality. If you’re passionate about Muay Thai, combat sports growth, or the evolution of UFC-style promotions, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
