Dana White announces ex-Best Buy employee who stopped TV thief as the newest member of the UFC security team

Summer Tapasa-Sataraka is now part the UFC security team. Summer took Dana White’s job offer and moved from Hawaii to Las Vegas.

Summer made nationwide headlines in January when she fought off a thief and stopped him from stealing a television from her Best Buy store in Aiea, Hawaii.

As a result, she was fired from best buy and lost her job. Footage of her actions went viral and caught the eye of UFC President Dana White.

He reached out to her on social media and offered her tickets to UFC 246 and a job opportunity.

White gave an update and announced Summer is officially part of the UFC security team in Las Vegas.

“Do you remember the girl Summer that worked for Best Buy as security in Hawaii?” White said. “Somebody was stealing a TV, some dude, and she beat his ass and stopped him from stealing the TV and she got fired by Best Buy, which I thought was horrible.

So I brought her out to Vegas, I offered her a job here, and she went back to Hawaii, she weighed all her options.

“Well, she decided to come work for the UFC, so she is now a UFC employee. So all you people thinking about fu**ing around over here at the UFC, you get your ass whooped by Summer.”

The above clip also includes an appearance from Tapasa-Sataraka herself, who says she’s been with the UFC for a little over a week and hopes to be “moving on up.”
