Famous fast food and burger joint Irvs Burgers’ return to West Hollywood brought out stars from all over. The fast-food joint hosted a special event to celebrate the remarkable moment. UFC President Dana White also served as the recipient of the special invite along with a Nickelodeon star.

Despite being the leader of the biggest MMA organization, White occasionally lets his comedic side out and engages in funny banter over social media. This fast-food event served as yet another moment for the UFC head to do something for the fans.

Together with viral Tik-Toker and Nickelodeon star Merrick Hanna, White shared a funny video. He ambushed the seemingly unwary star and quickly clamped him with a rear-naked choke, i.e. a staple move that turned names like Charles Oliveira, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Daniel Cormier into UFC champions.

No harm was intended, and none was delivered. Clearly, the duo had the whole skit mapped out from the beginning. It was meant to be an entertaining skit, and it definitely delivered. The video was re-shared by the Nickelodeon Star and Irvs Burgers as well. But has White ever pulled more such skits involving major celebrities?

Dana White stood toe-to-toe with UFC star Nate Diaz

White did not actually fight Nate Diaz, but requested the former BMF title challenger to deliver his signature Stockton slap on him. As per the report by Sportbible, White divulged the entire story on UFC’s unfiltered podcast. This served as the only occasion where the UFC head has allowed a fighter to strike him with his consent. Judging by his words, Diaz didn’t slap him just once.

He said, “It just came to me, I said pull the truck over, I want Nate to slap me. And Nate looked at me like, what the f**k? You should have seen the look on his face when I said that. And then we pulled over and he started slapping away.”

Diaz definitely did not see it coming and was surprised by White’s bizarre request. The UFC President also clarified that the offer will not be extended to any other fighter, as it could prove to be a seriously bad move on his part.
