Dana White Says Effort to Move Tumbler Ridge Survivor to U.S. Care Is Ongoing

White describes the cross-border medical transfer process as complex.

Overview

  • Dana White told reporters at the UFC Winnipeg post-fight press conference that he reached out to Maya Gebala’s family and is working to line up specialist care in Los Angeles, Houston or Seattle.
  • He said arranging a transfer is not simple and called it a work in progress, noting that UFC executives Lenee Breckenridge and Hunter Campbell are helping.
  • Some outlets have reported the family was flown to Los Angeles for treatment, but White did not confirm that and stressed that plans are still being worked out.
  • Gebala, 12, was shot in the head and neck during the February Tumbler Ridge attack that left eight people dead, and she remains in long-term recovery after surviving infection.
  • Her parents have also filed a lawsuit reported by Sherdog that accuses OpenAI of failing to alert Canadian police about suspected shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar.
