Addison Rae's Hosting Skills Faced Backlash
Before the "SNL" rumors circulated, the dancer posted on social media that UFC hired her to be their correspondent.
In the photo, Rae can be seen holding a microphone on the red carpet. The post reads, "I studied broadcast journalism in college for three whole months to prepare for this moment."
She hosted the introductory part of the event, but it was not well-received by fans as most of them said she didn't deserve to be there. They allege that her journalism background is not enough to be in that position.
"This is disrespectful to all the people who go to college and work their asses off for jobs like this and sometimes don't even get them, but because Addison has clout, she gets them over QUALIFIED sports journalists," one fan wrote. (via the outlet mentioned above)
Following this, several fans allege UFC fired her, but the championship event clarified that Rae was only hired for the event.
