Dana White and John Oliver: A ‘beef’ history

The world leader in MMA was the first major North American sporting organization to plan a return to action. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to devastate businesses that were once thriving. During these trying times, the UFC devised a bold plan of action to return in full swing and put on fights for the fans.

As part of their efforts, White and the UFC brass secured a partnership with Abu Dhabi officials that saw the company build a relocation. The main motive of this move to Yas ‘Fight Island’ was to allow the company’s international talent to flourish.

British Talk show host John Oliver criticized the UFC for not rebranding the organization to UF-SEA in jest. Not to mention, he used his wide platform to dig at the MMA organization, much to White’s displeasure. Moreover, not the one to sit quietly, Dana White engaged in a back and forth that made for entertaining television.

Chiefly, the amusing interactions have spawned a large number of social media posts regarding the same. The MMA community continue to play into the antics of the sports personalities, despite them being separate from the fight game.

The long-time UFC boss has frequently come up with responses to combat his detractors. He spoke out candidly and shared his frustrations over being doubted going into the formation of Fight Island. The aforementioned social media post serves as yet another instance where White had the last laugh.
