Dana White Acknowledges Bias After Bella Mir's Loss on Contender Series

UFC President Dana White has commented on Bella Mir's recent loss to Alex Apodaca during this week's episode of the Contender Series. Mir, the daughter of UFC legend Frank Mir, entered the match as a significant favorite.

Apodaca outperformed Mir, winning by a unanimous decision with scores of 29-28 from all judges, which resulted in her earning a UFC contract despite being a +1200 underdog.

After the event, White acknowledged his bias towards Mir, having known her for over four years. He noted that while Mir lacked experience in challenging situations, she demonstrated resilience during the fight. White reflected on the importance of this experience for her future development in the sport.
