UFC boss appointed Summer as a corporate security officer
News.com has it that UFC boss Dana in January 2020 made a promise and gave Summer the job of a corporate security officer.
He wrote:
"Somebody was stealing a TV, some dude, and she beat his a** and stopped him from stealing the TV.
“She got fired from Best Buy, which I thought was horrible. So I brought her out to Vegas.
“I offered her a job here. She went back to Hawaii, she weighed up all her options and she decided to come work for the UFC.
“She is now a UFC employee. So all you people thinking about f***ing around over here at the UFC, you’ll get your a** whooped by Summer!”
Restaurant worker fired for giving boy free food gets numerous job offers
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a kind restaurant worker who was fired for giving boy free food had got many job offers.
The lady identified as Bonie Kimball had worked at the lunchroom of Mascoma Valley Regional High School in New Hampshire, US for four years before her dismissal.
Bonnie told NBC that she had developed a special bond with the students who patronised the restaurant and couldn't bear to let the lad go empty handed after he approached the counter for food with no money at hand.
Though the boy later paid $8 for the free meal, the lady was sacked the next day.
