UFC president Dana White spoke this weekend about the treatment plan for Tumbler Ridge school shooting survivor, Maya Gabela.
Twelve-year-old Maya was critically injured in the mass shooting in February.
Maya’s family has confirmed they have taken up White’s offer to cover the cost of specialized treatment for her care in the United States.
White was asked about the situation after a UFC event in Winnipeg on Saturday night.

“They wanted to give their daughter. There are some great places in .L.A that could, there’s a great place in Houston, there’s a great place in Seattle,” White said.
“So we are working through that. It’s not as easy as it sounds. ‘Oh, some guy with money jumps in,’ it’s not that easy.”
On social media, Maya’s family says she recently moved out of the intensive care unit at BC Children’s Hospital.
🙏 God for her
🙏 God for both family and Maya
Bob B – How is he seeking attention? He was explaining it’s not that simple to just go and do what he is trying to do… Give your head a shake… He is trying to help a young victim of somthing horrible..
VG – if there is nothing wrong with treatments in Canada, why is MAID so prevelant? Why is long wait hours so normal? Why is months long waiting lists for procedures the norm? You know where all the best doctors and surgeons go…? to the USA to make actual money for their skills.
I agree, the treatments can be good, but we cannot support the amount of people we have brought to Canada. I feel bad for the people who immigrated here under false pretenses.
there’s nothing wrong with the treatments here in Canada
I read, and then reread, as I thought this story must be more after all of the adds.
But, alas, AI could write better than this.
Maya Gebala deserves better writing on her updates.
This might be the weakest news article ever written. Dana White said something. Patient is moved. Global News can and should do better.
Dana, figured out you’re now in for millions and millions. You’d better deliver. You’re nothing but a two faced f’n attention seeker rich man.
BTWi love UFC!
But you’ve become a DB.
