UFC CEO Dana White recently made the headlines after abruptly walking away from comedian Howie Mandel’s podcast. This week, he joined Mandel for his Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast but walked off soon after his introduction. This raised a lot of questions and controversies on the internet. White addressed the matter and referenced Jordan Peterson for his frequent podcast appearances.

In his appearance at the UFC 298 Post-fight press conference, Dana White stated he felt like Jordan Peterson every time he guested a podcast. Peterson is a renowned psychologist and speaker. Peterson often goes on podcasts to voice his opinions and thoughts. As such, the UFC CEO didn’t want to be like him and doubled down on refusing any more podcast invites. Here is what he said:

You know where I'm with the podcast. I feel like fu****g Jordan Peterson, every time I turn on Instagram I'm on a fu****g podcast. Yes, no more podcasts, please. Podcast it out.

On the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Dana White claimed he was tired of podcasts and exited the room. White even boldly stated that he wouldn’t do any more podcasts. While some considered it just to be a public stunt, there was something to it, considering White’s recent statement.

Dana White had earlier guested in numerous podcasts like Nelk Boys’ Full Send Podcast, Vivek Ramaswamy’s The Truth Podcast, Theo Von’s This Past Weekend, and many more. As such, he grew tired of it and called it quits. However, considering White’s relationship with the Nelk boys and his frequent appearances on their podcast, it would be interesting to see if he appears on it again.

Howie Mandel invited Dana White to his ‘Howie Mandel Does Stuff’ podcast recently.

Acknowledging Howie Mandel’s introductory speech, Dana White thanked him back. However, White soon said he was tired of doing numerous podcasts and claimed he wouldn’t do any more of this. As such, he suddenly removed his headphones and exited the podcast. This left Mandel and the other podcast members in shock. But, with another guest on the show, Mandel continued the podcast.

This incident stirred up a lot of controversies about Dana White and Howie Mandel. Many questioned whether they were on good terms or not. However, neither party has released a public statement regarding it. Even when the UFC CEO addressed the matter in the UFC post-fight press conference, he didn’t mention anything about Mandel.
