Dana White on UFC split with Farid Basharat: 'There's definitely a reason'

The recent UFC split from undefeated bantamweight Farid Basharat surprised many followers of the sport. UFC CEO Dana White seems to think parting ways with the 16-0 fighter with a 7-0 UFC record isn't that out-of-the-norm, however. "I think that when guys' contracts are up, this isn't the first time this has happened," White said at a UFC Fight Night 291 post-fight news conference Saturday in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
