DWCS
Everett began working security for the UFC before becoming White’s
personal runner. He told TMZ Sports he intends to keep the job.
“I’ve been working,” Everett said. “I worked yesterday and I worked
today. I’m at work right now, actually. I love my job, so it’s not
like I was working so hard to get away from stocking Dana’s fridge.
Dana’s been blessing me in this position, and yeah, some days are
stressful, but it’s work, you know? I’m a working man; I’m not
lazy. I like to be here.”
White had suggested Everett should leave his office job to focus on
training after earning the contract.
