Dana White’s Views About PBR and Playmate

There is also a chance of you being seriously injured or dead when you get into the ring. Huge drama, body on the line, and the human drama and stakes are always high.
Being part of an interview with WFAA, White shared that he has a bull himself, and the fight of the finals will be something brilliant to watch.
