PUBLICITY:

Dana White is definitely not a football fan. Watching the broadcast of the World Cup final last Sunday (19), the UFC CEO posted a video on his social media blasting the event's production team, who made mistakes when announcing the names of the celebrities present at Metlife Stadium to watch the game between Spain and Argentina.

Recalling similar problems that occurred during UFC White House last month, the bald fighter used his ironic sense of humor to say that the work done during the FIFA-sponsored game managed to "surpass" the blunders of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

“I actually paved the way for the guys in charge of producing the World Cup so you guys could hit a home run . Everyone on my team was saying you were the worst. I said, ‘No, we are the worst.’ What do you do? You double down today and just go, ‘Fuck you, Dana White. We’re the worst production team in the history of sports,’” he stated.

Typical of an American, Dana White has a history of criticizing soccer. In 2012, during a press conference for UFC Calgary, the bald executive even declared that soccer was the sport with the lowest talent level in the entire world. At the time, he argued that children are capable of playing it.

“I’m not a big fan of hockey. But I respect how talented you have to be to play. Now, football? It’s completely different. I can’t stand football. It’s the least talented sport in the world. That’s why a three-year-old can play. How can you play a game where the net is huge and a 3-1 score is considered sensational? You’re kidding me, right?” he said.
