“Hasn’t heard it’s 2023” – Dana White trolls mask-wearing UFC announcer despite end of COVID-19 wave
Dana White is a Republican and did not abide by the mask mandate during the pandemic. He decided to troll the "Voice of the UFC" for wearing a mask on the plane.

Dana White trolled UFC icon Bruce Buffer for wearing a mask even after the pandemic lost steam. The UFC President traveled with Buffer on a plane, giving netizens a peak of Bruce traveling with his mask on.
Dana White’s leadership impacted the sports world during the pandemic immensely. White took all the precautions and ensured that the staff and fighters followed strict rules to put on fight events. Despite the necessary mask mandate, White did not make it mandatory to follow them. If everyone on Fight Island tested negative, they could walk around mask-free. At the moment, Covid is not much of a threat as it was in 2020 and 2021. Hence, Dana White could not help but troll Buffer.
Dana posted a photo of Bruce Buffer on the plane wearing a mask. He wrote, “I gotta talk to my guy. He hasn’t heard it 2023, and everything’s fine.” One can’t blame Bruce for taking his safety too seriously. The cage announcer tested positive once and faced severe body aches, headaches, and fever. He was truly grateful for being vaccinated and stated that things could have ended badly had he not taken the vaccine.
Meanwhile, UFC’s head honcho was also down with Covid-19. He had lost his sense of taste and smell while being infected. Although White was fully vaccinated, he relied on Joe Rogan’s methods for his recovery. Rogan also tested positive and received harsh criticisms for his plan of action. However, Dana White defended Rogan as he recovered quickly using the same methods.

Dana White to jack the PPV prices for a potential Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg fight
The news of a potential fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg took the internet by storm. Both CEOs have a history of taking digs at each other on the internet. However, this time around, instead of calling names, the tech giants indicated their desire to compete inside the cage. The news became viral very quickly, and Musk even decided on Vegas as a potential venue.
Both billionaires also reached out to Dana White, who believes they are dead serious about making the fight happen. White stated that the fight could be the biggest fight in history and could triple the number of the boxing bout between Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor. With money on his mind, White did not hesitate to charge 100 dollars for the PPV price. Given that an average UFC pay-per-view event costs around 80 dollars, White might walk out with a huge sum.
As of now, the UFC President is not interested in speculating when the fight will take place but will be ready to make it happen. This potential bout has piqued the interest of many people, including UFC fighters who want to coach the tech giants.
