UFC’s Dana White is SORCHED EARTH in the media

UFC president Dana White blasted the media as “f—ing zeros” whose opinions don’t and shouldn’t matter.

In a searing rant during an appearance on Barstool’s “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, the Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO and President delivered a brutal reality check on the media and its current state of irrelevance in the current divided political climate.

In response to a question about how he has adapted to changes in media and technology over his years in the business, White explained that he likes to talk to followers and consumers without a “middle man”.

“Realistically, when you look at it right now, the two most hated people on the planet right now are the media and the politicians,” he said. “No one trusts them, no one likes them.”

He explained how major media attacks on his organizations and ultimately the media’s role during the COVID-19 pandemic sealed the deal for the 54-year-old and claimed that the media “they don’t have the influence or power they think.” they do.”

He argued that the media should not have power over one’s decisions and called for the “cancel bullsh culture…”.

Earlier, White set the media on fire when he discussed the success of Power Slap, his wrestling promotion company, with NFL hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan.

“If the media tells you that you have something that’s going to fail, it’s definitely going to win,” White said.

“The media is the dumbest, they don’t know anything, they don’t do anything, they’ve never built anything mother on planet earth,” he continued.

“So when they say it won’t work, you have a home run home run. Jump and grind,” he exclaimed with a laugh.

“Think about who these people are. When you really think about ‘the media,’ who are they?” he asked before unrolling a list of other questions.

“Where do they come from? Why does your opinion matter? What have they ever done? What have they ever created?” he continued.

“What have they ever built? Who has ever depended on a paycheck from the media? Nobody,” White added.

“They’re a bunch of f—ing zeros who sit around and write stories about people who are actually doing shit,” he said.

White has taken heat over the years for being a supporter of former President Donald Trump, someone he has referred to as a friend. White accompanied Trump along with Kid Rock and Tucker Carlson in a grand entrance at UFC 295, a mixed martial arts event held at New York’s Madison Square Garden this month.

White’s criticism of the media is nothing new, as he has regularly called out the media for not doing their jobs properly. And he recently opened up about what he said to a sponsor who told him he had to remove a video of Trump in the fight from his social media account.

“I posted a Trump video on my personal social media. One of our big sponsors called and said, ‘Take it down.’ You know what I said? ‘Screw yourself,'” White explained in a podcast hosted by comedian Theo Von.

“Vote for who you want to vote for, and I’ll vote for who I want to vote for. This is how this works. I don’t even care who you vote for, it’s none of my business. Fuck you Don’t ever call me and tell me who to vote for,” he added.
