Dana White backs out of fight with Johnny Manziel on Adin Ross’ promotion

White Doubts Menery Will Fight, Bets $10k on No-Show

In a video shared to Instagram tonight, Dana White claimed that he was asked by Bob Menery who he would bet on when he fights Johnny Manziel later this year. The UFC boss laughed off the idea, telling Menery that he would sooner put money on him pulling out than either result.

And a betting company actually gave White odds based on probability, so he has put down a whopping $10,000 on the possibility of Menery refusing to show up at all. “So you guys have seen all the stuff that’s gone on with me and Nelk and Bob Menery over the years,” White told fans.

“Menery is back and he has supposedly signed a deal on Adin Ross’ fight show down in Miami to fight Johnny Manziel, okay? So Menery hits me up and says ‘who are you betting on?’ I said ‘I’m betting on you don’t even show up, that’s my bet’.

“Menery never does anything he says he’s going to do. So Adin Ross’ fight show in Miami, Menery vs Manziel, Polymarket put a bet on it where you can bet whether he shows up or not… There’s no way 49 per cent of people believe in Bob Menery and that he’s going to show up.

“There’s no way in hell, so I’m betting $10,000 Menery does not show up. And Bob, if you do and the night before it looks like you’re going to fight, I’m flying to Miami to watch this one.”
