Recently, in an episode of the podcast, ‘Flagrant’, the social media star had a very hilarious argument with the podcaster.
Talking about the genuine problems that UFC fighters face daily, like very limited fight purses, health insurance, and many more, the Ohio-based boxer made a huge claim.
He promised if White fulfills all his demands concerning UFC fighters, then he would fight Nate Diaz for free in a MMA bout. He said, “I will fight in Octagon. in the UFC for free.”
To make the conversation interesting, the renowned stand-up comedian Andrew Schulz asked, “Would you let Dana White put his big toe in your belly button?”
‘The Problem Child’ gave it a more interesting turn. He accepted the challenge on one condition. He said, “It’s four of the fighters’s pay. Dana White can touch my belly button.”
