Dana White is FURIOUS with Jason Aldean -- telling TMZ Sports the country singer's team lied to him about why he couldn't perform in front of Vegas shooting survivors and 1st responders at UFC 216.
White says he had reached out to Aldean's camp to sing the national anthem at UFC 216 in Vegas on Saturday night ... an event in which 15 survivors and hundreds of 1st responders were in the crowd.
White says Aldean's people turned down the offer -- saying he was shaken up from the shooting and might never perform live again.

He’s toast.
Thanks for outing him Dana.
Jason Aldean is Fake Country
What is UFC 216?
Ruh roh.
EXCERPT...
White says Aldean’s people turned down the offer — saying he was shaken up from the shooting and might never perform live again.
White says he stressed that the survivors who would be attending UFC 216 were shot while watching Aldean perform and it would mean a lot to them ... and the city of Las Vegas. Still, he declined.
Instead, Aldean flew to NYC and performed on Saturday Night Live at the same time as UFC 216. Needless to say, White is pissed.
“His image was more important then coming back to Vegas and playing for the people who are his fans and who got shot watching him play,” White says.
“Country music” sucks, and it looks like most of these guys that have opened their mouths since last Sunday are just a bunch of pussies in stupid looking hats.
That is true.
Aldean is all done
I guess the country stars thought themselves too important to take on the role of playing the anthem in front of survivors and first responders. Could they be a part of . . . HOLLYWOOD???
I don’t think Everlast, which agreed to perform the anthem, is a country band.

PING!
Careful what you believe from Dana White.
As he had already booked snl he could not be in two places at one time and therefore had to turn down Vegas event.
“Jason Aldean is Fake Country”
He is like Florida Georgia Line. I don’t care how thick your accents are. Your music is not “country.” It is nothing more than tractor rap bullsh*t
I wonder if White contacted Big Kenny and John Rich (Big & Rich). They performed “God Bless America” at the ill-fated concert. I don’t think they would be ones to shirk this opportunity.
Who is Dana White and why does he get to call the shots?
Ah, but when did he book the appearance...?
He’s bro country anyway. Of course he scurried off to New York
Does anyone know if he paid a visit to the injured?
I said the day after, that, although I don’t know him well, I wouldn’t be shocked to hear a few “ we need better gun laws” type statements from him.
SNL though. The desire to be with the popular kids is strong.
