The head of the UFC has found himself in the spotlight—not for MMA, but for his questionable knowledge of forestry. During a recent interview, he made a series of wild accusations about the current state of the lumber industry, claiming that “trees are disappearing overnight because nobody knows how to manage forests anymore.” Critics quickly pointed out that his claims were wildly inaccurate and easily debunked with a simple Google search. In fact, there are more trees now than 20 years ago due to modern forestry practices.
Social media erupted with playful jabs, with fans suggesting he brush up on his search engine skills before tackling environmental issues. Forestry experts weighed in, clarifying that sustainable practices, like the use of plantation-grown pine, are thriving and play a crucial role in reducing deforestation. While the UFC head may dominate the octagon, it seems he’s got some catching up to do when it comes to timber trivia.
