A fan gatecrashed the UFC 260 press conference with a fight offer for a bemused UFC boss Dana White
  • A random fan stormed a UFC press conference and demanded to fight for Dana White.
  • The fan was quickly escorted out of the media room by security.
  • UFC boss White turned to reporters and said: "That was f------ weird."

A fan gatecrashed the UFC 260 press conference Saturday with a fight offer for the bemused UFC President Dana White.

The UFC boss had just handed out performance-related cash bonuses after impressive performances from Francis Ngannou, Sean O'Malley, Tyron Woodley, and Vicente Luque.

But one of the moments of the night may have arrived after all the fight results had been announced, when White was taken aback when an apparent fan at the Apex in Las Vegas and demanded to fight for the leading MMA company.

It all happened at the post-fight media event.

The MMA Fighting reporter Jose Youngs said on Twitter: "A fan just tried to crash the press conferencing yelling: 'Dana, I'm ready to fight for you!'

"Security swarmed and dragged him out."

White appeared stunned at the proposal, before turning to reporters to say: "That was f------ weird."

The fight promoter added: "Holy s---. What the hell was that all about? What did he say to me? He's ready to fight for me? He doesn't look like he's in fighting shape. Poor guy."

Needless to say, White won't likely take the fan up on his offer.

Instead, the UFC's live events business will be on pause for a week before returning April 10 with a UFC on ABC event headlined by Darren Till and Marvin Vettori's middleweight match.
