/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump fan Dana White, the CEO of UFC, has been named to the board of Meta.

Meta recently announced that Republican Joel Kaplan would be replacing leftist Nick Clegg as president of global affairs; Kaplan had been the company’s vice president of global public policy since 2011. He had also served as White House Deputy Chief of Staff under former President George W. Bush.

“I’ve never been interested in joining a board of directors until I got the offer to join Meta’s board,” White said. “I am a huge believer that social media and AI are the future. … I am very excited to join this incredible team and to learn more about this business from the inside. There is nothing I love more than building brands, and I look forward to helping take Meta to the next level.”

“Dana is the President and CEO of UFC, and he has built it into one of the most valuable, fastest growing, and most popular sports enterprises in the world,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November after Trump’s election, stated. “I’ve admired him as an entrepreneur and his ability to build such a beloved brand.”

Trump honored White by choosing him to nominate Trump for the presidency at the Republican National Convention. White noted that when Trump asked White to nominate him, Trump said, “I only wish you didn’t have to interrupt your family trip, but I hope they understand. They love you and they know how important this is.” (Read more from “Zuckerberg Chooses Dana White For Board Of Meta” HERE)

UFC CEO Dana White Slams Kamala Harris’ Appearance on Colbert: ‘Should Scare Everyone’

/2 Comments/in , /by

UFC chief Dana White has come out swinging against Vice President Kamala Harris, saying the fact she is “incapable of putting a sentence together” should “SCARE THE S–T” out of everyone.

White shared a much-ridiculed clip of Harris stumbling over her words when asked on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” what “major changes” she would make if elected compared to those of her current administration with President Biden.

“I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE,” White, 55, posted on X.

“She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her head,” continued the UFC chief.

“This election is very important and this along with the many other clips of her attempting to answer questions should SCARE THE S–T OUT OF YOU!!!” he wrote. (Read more from “UFC CEO Dana White Slams Kamala Harris’ Appearance on Colbert: ‘Should Scare Everyone’” HERE)

Former UFC Fighter Dies in Tragic Accident at 33

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former UFC flyweight contender Geane Herrera tragically passed away following a motorcycle accident on Saturday in Tampa, Florida. He was 33 years old.

According to reports from multiple sources, the accident occurred around 10:45 p.m. when Herrera collided with the back of another vehicle at a high speed on Gandy Bridge, as confirmed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to TMZ.

Subsequently, Herrera’s motorcycle struck a concrete barrier, ejecting him from the vehicle. Despite emergency response efforts, Herrera was pronounced dead at the scene.

Herrera, who was on the verge of celebrating his 34th birthday, made his debut in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on August 25, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 73, where he faced Ray Borg. Although he suffered a defeat via unanimous decision in that bout, he bounced back three months later with a victory over Joby Sanchez by TKO.

Following his tenure in the UFC, Herrera transitioned to Absolute Championship Berkut in 2018. He later made his mark in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in 2021, securing a notable victory over Abdiel Velazquez by TKO.

In the wake of Herrera’s untimely passing, his family established a GoFundMe campaign, and tributes poured in on social media platforms to honor the late MMA fighter. In a heartfelt statement on the GoFundMe page, his family expressed profound sorrow over their loss, describing Herrera as a vibrant individual with a zest for life and a passion for making a positive impact in the world.

“Our family is devastated by the tragic loss of our beloved Geane Carlos Herrera known in the professional fighting world as ‘La Pulga’, whose life was cut way too short at only 33 years old,” the family wrote. “Geane leaves behind a 16-year-old son, his 3-month pregnant girlfriend, mother, father, sisters, a brother and a family that loves him and will deeply miss him.”

VIDEO: UFC Champ Sean Strickland Blasts Canadian Reporter for LGBT Gotcha Question: ‘Weak F**K*NG Man’

/0 Comments/in , /by

UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland delivered a verbal TKO to a Canadian reporter at a UFC 297 press conference Wednesday after the journalist made the ill-advised decision to bait Strickland into a “gotcha” question regarding gays.

The reporter began by bringing up Strickland’s 2021 comments when he said that if he had a “gay son I would think I failed as a man to create such weakness.”

The reporter said, “We’ve got a pretty supportive gay and lesbian community in this city (Toronto),” the reporter began. He then brought up Strickland’s hypothetical about having a gay son, but he didn’t get much further than that before Strickland cut him off.

Wearing a tee shirt reading, “A woman in every kitchen and a gun in every hand,” Strickland went off. . .

[Warning: video contains explicit content.]

You elected Justin Trudeau … you’re just f*ck*ng pathetic,” Strickland said. “The fact that you have no f*ck*ng backbone and as he shut down your f*ck*ng country and seized bank accounts, you ask me some f*ck*ng stupid sh*t like that? Go f*ck yourself. Move the f*ck on, man. F*ck*ng coward.” (Read more from “VIDEO: UFC Champ Sean Strickland Blasts Canadian Reporter for LGBT Gotcha Question: ‘Weak F**K*NG Man’” HERE)

UFC President Dana White Defiantly Rejects Sponsor’s Demand to Remove Trump Post, Tells Them to “Go F*** Yourself”

/0 Comments/in , /by

UFC CEO and President Dana White said he told one of the sponsors for his mixed martial arts organization to “go f*** yourself” when directed by the unnamed company to remove a post on his personal social media account that included former President Donald Trump.

“One of our big sponsors called and said, take that down,” White said during an interview with comedian and podcaster Theo Von. “You know what I said? Go f*** yourself.”

“You vote for whoever you want to vote for, and I’ll vote for whoever I want to vote for,” White continued. “That’s how this works. I don’t even care who you’re voting for. It’s none of my f***ing business. F*** you. Don’t ever f***ing call me and tell me who to vote for.”

White — a longtime friend and supporter of Trump — has made numerous public appearances with the former Republican president at UFC events. White even spoke on Trump’s behalf at the 2016 Republican National Convention before Trump won the presidential election.

White and Trump were most recently seen on November 11 at Madison Square Garden for UFC 295, walking alongside Kid Rock and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Donald Trump Flipped off by Bill Burr’s Wife at UFC Match (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bill Burr’s wife, actress Nia Renée Hill, was caught flipping off former President Donald Trump with both her middle fingers at an Ultimate Fighting Championship match Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

An avid UFC fan, Trump entered the arena to a loud ovation before the featherweight fight between Diego Lopes and Pat Sabatini. He was accompanied by Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, Dana White and son Don Jr.

Arena cameras panned to him — and in the background Hill, 54, can be seen raising her middle fingers at his back as she sits in her seat.

Trump, 77, seemed utterly clueless about the gesture as he continued to scan the room. Burr’s head, meanwhile, was turned in the opposite direction. . .

The clip of Hill giving Trump the double bird circulated on social media, especially on the bird app X, where it sparked backlash for the “Old Dads” actress. (Read more from “Donald Trump Flipped off by Bill Burr’s Wife at UFC Match” HERE)

WATCH: UFC Boss Dana White Praises Donald Trump: ‘I Love Him’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a Monday visit with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, UFC President Dana White gushed over his relationship with former President Donald Trump.

“I love him and appreciate that,” White explained, according to Mediaite. “Hopefully I’ve built a business over the last 22 years, that no matter who comes and goes we’ll last and continue to grow.”

“He’s a very very good friend of mine,” White continued. “Donald Trump has been such a good friend to me since the day I met him. When we bought this company, this company had such a bad stigma attached to it within the sport that we could not get into venues. Venues didn’t want us.”

White noted that the ex-president even offered one of his properties to White to help keep his fight empire running during the pandemic.

“He’s a sports guy, he loves sports. He offered us to come and do the event at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. We did two events with him. He showed up for the first fight; stayed for the last fight,” White said. (Read more from “WATCH: UFC Boss Dana White Praises Donald Trump: ‘I Love Him’” HERE)
