WATCH: Dwayne Johnson’s Fan-Made UFC Logo Brought Out a Savage Response From Dana White in 2021

UFC President Dana White is someone who doesn’t shy away from his opinion and often speaks his mind. Fans have admired White for the way he has run UFC and made it popular among the masses. And as any business promoter, White feels strongly about UFC and will defend it to no end. At times, White can even be really fiery when it comes to talking about his promotion. In 2021, White came out with a tongue-in-cheek response after a famous TikToker made fun of UFC’s logo and redesigned it with WWE legend Dwayne Johnson.

Fans know White for engaging quite often on social media and not hesitating in expressing his thoughts. He often comes up with strong responses and can go off while talking on a topic close to him. In  2021, TikTok personality Emily Tuğay poked fun at UFC’s logo and redesigned it, which featured an image of The Great One, former WWE Champion The Rock.

Dana White responded to Zugay’s redesign in a soft but savage manner, with sarcasm oozing from his words.

Dana White is known to come with witty and fiery remarks from time to time. The UFC President rarely hides his displeasure at things he doesn’t like. This was the case yet again when TikToker Emily Zugay redesigned the UFC logo and put Dwayne Johnson at the center of it.

Zugay is popular on TikTok for redesigning some iconic logos of famous brands in a hilarious manner. Last year, she posted a video where she made fun of the UFC logo and redesigned it in her typical way. Not only this, she also shared some advice for the promotion.

In the video, Zugay said, “I had to google it cause I didn’t know it. It stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Why did you make your F like this? I hate this angle. I felt a bit of a disconnect, so I wanted to pair a face with the logo (Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson). And I know that he is one of the best ever. So I think that will bring in a little more business for you guys. This font is also a lot more aggressive”

Dana White then immediately responded to this new logo and Zugay’s comments. He took a subtle but hilarious dig at Emily Zugay’s lack of knowledge about UFC and engaged in some banter. White sarcastically replied, “Emily, I think you’re spot on with your assessment of our logo. And obviously, you’ve done your homework and you know exactly what you’re talking about. You’re very educated when it comes to mixed martial arts. Great job!”

Moreover, UFC later also used Zugay’s design as the profile picture of their official TikTok account.

It showed the humorous side of Dana White and gave the impression that he can be brutal without being offensive to anyone. And although he doesn’t fight in the octagon, this was a knockout win for the UFC President.
