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.

His original schedule showed dates in California last night and tonight
I like the people that listen to country, but the music is bollocks.
Bro Country? More like “Fag Country.”
I've never seen hotter chicks in my life than at a Luke Bryan concert in Florida.
Dana White is very full of herself and should mind her own business.
Why does she get to determine which crime victims are virtuous?
Lol, love it! As a country fan I will say that it’s gone rapidly down hill over the last decade. Alden was never a fav of mine. Give me Travis Tritt all day long.
Hindsight is 20/20. When the shooting started, the person on stage would be considered the most likely target. Everyone with any sense would have done the same.
A lot of scum floating around out there
The collapse of real country music started when Achy Breaky Heart became a hit. It has been downhill ever since.
He played the Tom Petty song “I won’t back down” on SNL...A show run by a bunch of far leftist schmuck holes who regularly back down, who immediately after the shooting demanded all law abiding US citizens disarm.
I agree.
Or.....performing in Vegas wouod trip his PTSD just a tad bit.
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.

Thanks for posting.
By tonight therebetter be an announcement by camp Aldean that a free indoor safe memorial concert in Vegas by Mr. Aldean and friends is in the works
Or he’s gluten free toast.
I know, what’s with the hats? They all wear the hats. Johnny Cash rarely wore a hat, Willie Nelson rarely wears a hat, George Jones..I can’t ever remember that guy wearing a hat, yet these “country singers” today got the damn things glued to their heads 24/7.
that’s true- he very well could have thought it was a specific attempt on his life because he is famous- However- after figuring out that it was a mass shooting- it would have been nice to see him and crew helping the wounded- and it would have been nice to hear “Sure, but I can’t perform on that evening, i have a prior engagement- I will however do a benefit for the victims and their families very shortly- My heart and prayers go out to each victim and their families”
Noone can blame him for running off stage- however, remaining hidden while his fans lay dying was what has so many people pissed at him- I’ll repeat the post from post 35 here as it fits so well

That is what a hero does- responds positively to his or her opportunity to make a difference. He missed his one great chance- now he has to live with that failure
If previously booked then why was the reason given White that he was too upset and may never perform again. Someone is lying.
Achy break sh*t was a country music Holocaust. It also gave rise to this garbage posing as a musician...........

I do not know.
It is the key indicator that I am a country music singer.
Not that the music that they sing is country, or even good, or that they are patriots or anything like that.
Just the big, stupid hat.
Give me Marty Robbins, Conway Twitty, Glen Campbell, Ronnie Milsap. I cannot stand modern “country music”.
