January 4, 2015, was a tough day for sports fans worldwide. The beloved ESPN anchor, Stuart Scott, passed away after a long fight with cancer. He was just 49. Nine years later, UFC's Dana White shared his memories of Scott and joined forces to raise funds for cancer research. White met Scott through ESPN's SportsCenter. He recalled Scott as a passionate and nice guy. Scott was also a big fan of MMA and even trained in it. They often discussed fights and Scott's love for the sport. His iconic "Booyaah! " will always be remembered. To honor Scott, ESPN and the V Foundation started the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund. With White's help, the fund could reach more people in need faster. When ESPN MMA posted about this on Instagram, fight fans showed their respect. Some shared their childhood memories of watching Scott on SportsCenter. Others called him the greatest sports analyst ever. White's campaign to raise funds for the V Foundation shows how much Scott is still loved and remembered. It's a noble cause that brings the fighting community together.
