Dana White finally met his match in Charlamagne tha God

“I don’t know if I agree that he’s failing the people. When the president is done in three years, people will look back and realize a lot of the good things. See, I’m closer to him too, and I see all the good things that he does,” White said. “You’re never going to have a president that everybody approves 100% of everything they do, and not everything is always going to be perfect. You’re going to have some things that work out great and a lot of things that don’t when you’re the President of the United States.”

Incredibly, White tried to evade the tough questioning about Trump by claiming he is neutral or even “leaning a little liberal” but The Breakfast Clubwasn’t having any of it. When confronted with White’s embrace of Trump increasing his popularity amongst young men through UFC, White responded, “Yea, I guess.”

But if Dana White seemed uncomfortable there, it was nothing compared to what happened when he was called out by The Breakfast Clubon the video of him striking his wife at a New Year’s Eve party and how he was able to survive with his job and career completely unaffected.

When Charlamagne asked White what standard he held himself to, he was actually speechless for a moment in what could be a first in his UFC career before sheepishly mustering, “It was as bad as it could get” in response and saying, “I would never in a million years think that would happen.” Well, it did. And the fact that White didn’t really have an answer to the question shows exactly what to make of the integrity of himself and UFC and their decision-making process.

It was refreshing to see Dana White actually forced to acknowledge some of these contradictions and issues and not be able to simply blow them off from a bully pulpit or spout his own propaganda. Of course, that likely means it’s the last we will see of him in such a setting for the foreseeable future.
