Dana White branded "dirty" by Chechen warlord after controversial UFC fight decision

Dana White has been accused of being "dirty" after the controversial draw between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev.

Blachowicz and Ankalaev were upgraded to a pay-per-view main event this weekend at UFC 282 when the pair met for the light-heavyweight strap in Las Vegas. Despite the promise of an intriguing duel, the fight ended in a controversial split draw, which left the belt vacant despite many suggesting that Ankalaev did enough to be crowned champion.

It was night of controversy for White, who was also forced to defend Paddy Pimblett's controversial decision win over Jared Gordon in the co-main event. And Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, who is known for his association with Russian president Vladimir Putin, has moved to criticise White in the aftermath of the decision.
