The UFC really, really would prefer mainstream journalists who are uninformed asking softball questions.
The problem is, as MMA continue to slowly gain more mainstream acceptance, the more they'll get these type of questions. This is like the NFL getting mad about a journalist asking questions about Deflate-gate.
They're not doing themselves any favors by having thin skin. If Dana White didn't want any questions about blocking Cyborg on Instagram he shouldn't have blocked her on Instagram. She's a major star under her employ and it was a childish thing to do in the first place.
