Dana White is perhaps the most recognizable face of the UFC. While fighters have come and gone, the UFC boss has been a constant in the promotion for the past two decades. His bald, pale, muscular silhouette has been a fixture of the UFC scene since most fans can remember.

In a recent episode of his Jaxxon Podcast on YouTube, former UFC champion Quentin ‘Rampage’ Jackson and co-host Bear Degidio had UFC middleweight Gilbert Burns on and pointed out a UFC fighter who looks exactly like the UFC boss.

During the podcast, the trio started discussing the n-word and Burns asked ‘Rampage’ and Degidio if they used the word on their podcast, which they denied. The middleweight, however, disagreed and pointed out that he had heard it used on a previous episode of their podcast.

Jackson and his co-host claimed that Burns must have misconstrued them talking to UFC featherweight Giga Chikadze on a previous podcast episode. In addition, Degidio also pointed out that Chikadze bore an uncanny resemblance to UFC CEO Dana White when the former did not have his cap on.

“When he [Giga Chikadze] doesn’t wear a hat he doesn’t look like him. He looks like a skinny Dana White when he doesn’t wear hat,” the co-host told Burns. It is hard to disagree with this assessment as the featherweight has the same head shape, pale complexion, and profile as the UFC boss.

It is unclear whether this is a compliment or an insult since some feel he resembles Hollywood star Vin Diesel while others think he looks more like the Bond villain Blofeld, who himself was the boss of a massive multi-national organization that operated on the whims and fancies of its boss.

Currently, the UFC boss is in Abu Dhabi, where he probably is trying to deal with his favorite fighter who is upset with the promotion.

Hi, I am Kanishk and I am a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. I love telling the stories of these magnificent fighters and this wildly unpredictable sport that is so frustrating and yet so joyous at the same time. I never really used to watch MMA, thinking it too crude or brutal a sport to deserve respect.
