DW: “I wouldn’t want that nasty thing rubbing on my face”

Daniel Cormier is on a mission to trim Roy Nelson’s hair, and UFC President Dana White is ready to hand him the shears.
“I don’t blame (Cormier),” White told a small group of reporters on Monday in Los Angeles. “I wouldn’t want that nasty thing rubbing on my face, either, during the fight.”
“I hate that whole, ‘You can grow a beard down to here and still fight in MMA,'” White said. “It’s not even allowed in boxing, and they don’t go to the ground and have side control.
“Who would want that thing laying on their face? Seriously? That long, nasty, ratty looking thing in your mouth, rubbing on your face … I mean, it’s ridiculous. They shouldn’t be allowed to have beards that big. If you want a beard, trim that thing down and make it look normal. Disgusting.”
