Dana White Recounts Funny Origin of Sophie Cunningham's Ring Girl Appearance

During a recent appearance, White recounted how the Phoenix Mercury guard found herself in the unusual position of holding the round cards at the event featuring Conor McGregor. The UFC CEO detailed that Cunningham was a guest at the fight, and when a last-minute need for a ring girl arose, she was available and willing to step in.

White described the situation as a spur-of-the-moment decision, emphasizing Cunningham's good nature and willingness to participate. He found the entire scenario quite humorous, especially considering her primary career as a professional basketball player.
