Dana White believes a UFC fighter is intentionally 'f**king with him' after seeing his latest video, having previously called him 'stupid'.
The promotion is gearing up for a huge show next month as the famed Octagon sets up shop at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, for UFC 306.
Sean O'Malley puts his UFC bantamweight title on the line against No.1 contender Merab Dvalishvili, who has made a lot of noise ahead of their championship clash.

Earlier this month, Dvalishvili disclosed a cut suffered in training, prompting an angry response from White, who pulled no punches.
And Dvalishvili has once again angered the UFC boss following his latest stunt on social media.
He posted a video of himself removing his OWN stitches with a pair of scissors.
Speaking after Tuesday’s Dana White’s Contender Series 69 event, the 55-year-old slammed the UFC title challenger.
"Isn't he awesome?" He joked.
"I think he's just fucking with me to be honest with you."
White added: "Do what you want, do what you want. Did you ever see the scissors that they take stitches out with? They’re tiny, and they have that thing on there so you don’t cut yourself. And this guy had f**king bush shears that he was using. You know, you trim your f**king bushes with - that gardeners use. Whatever. Good for him."
Dvalishvili, 33, is on a 10-fight winning streak, which includes big victories over Jose Aldo, Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo.
His win over Cejudo at UFC 298 earned him his first shot at UFC gold as he faces O'Malley on September 14.
O'Malley is looking to make the second defence of his UFC title, having defended his strap against Marlon Vera in his last outing.
He dethroned Aljamain Sterling of the 135lbs belt last year.
