The 52-year-old is skipping the massive event in Singapore, but it looks like he has a lot more things planned out. White made an appearance at The Spinnin Backfist MMA Show to lay out everything he intends to do in his time away from the sport this summer. It includes meeting with several celebrities, bike rides, and dinner with Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg.

We are going to have dinner together and shoot the s**t.“White was also quizzed about Zuckerberg’s keen interest in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and how he loves the UFC. He continued,” Yeah, so I am hearing that and he is a big fan and that he loves the UFC. And you know, I love stuff like that.”

The UFC President even commented about how stacked his plans for the summer are, as he has chalked out a lot of ‘cool s**t’ that he is looking forward to.

Dana White won’t call Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett

White was asked whether he would allow Paddy Pimblett to voice his grievance via face-time with Mark Zuckerberg. The UFC President suggested that he would ‘probably not‘ allow Pimblett to speak directly with the FB founder.

The English mixed martial artist has had issues keeping his social media handles on Facebook and Instagram alive, and it has caused him to lose out on a lot of revenue.

After securing a massive win at UFC London, Pimblett called who he would like to face next. ‘The Baddy’ said, But who I wanna fight? Mark Zuckerberg, lad, I am gonna punch you. I am sick of you lad, you know what I mean? I am sick of you, shut up my Instagram accounts, when alls I do is help charities, and people with mental health problems. You’re the biggest bully in the world lad.”

It is highly unlikely for this match-up to ever materialize. One can only wonder whether White will resolve Pimblett’s issue with the social media platforms that Zuckerberg owns.
