UFC President Dana White, who held the first live sports events in the U.S. and in Las Vegas in the age of a coronavirus pandemic, has not been seen wearing a mask in public during the COVID-19 health crisis.

So, LVSportsBiz.com texted the candid-talking White after Gov. Steve Sisolak’s mask mandate Wednesday and asked him, “Will you be wearing a mask when in public or talking to the media?”

White texted back a photo with this quip, “I’m on vacation I know nothing about these things.”

A face emoji showing a tongue out with a closed right eye ended the text. And here’s the photo.

Sisolak said people must wear masks in public in Nevada starting Friday. Sisolak addressed the public and media today.
