UFC CEO Dana White has worked tirelessly to elevate the promotion’s global stature. As a result, he typically avoids commenting on controversies that could negatively impact the public perception of his MMA promotion. However, one of the most controversial internet personalities, Andrew Tate, plans to stir things up by visiting UFC 313 this weekend.

Andrew Tate is a former MMA fighter known for his exceptional kickboxing skills. In recent years, however, he has gained significant notoriety due to various controversial activities. Most recently, Tate returned to the U.S. after a travel ban against him was lifted. Notably, the former MMA fighter appeared on an episode of the FULL SEND PODCAST, where he discussed his plans in the United States.

Although he did not explicitly state his visit to UFC 313, Tate hinted at his intention to attend. However, this could upset UFC CEO Dana White and create complications for him. One significant reason for this concern is that the Tate brothers are facing a criminal investigation initiated by the Florida Attorney General. This investigation stems from their previous antics in Romania, which had already drawn scrutiny.

The relationship between Dana White and Andrew Tate has been quite mixed. Interestingly, while the UFC CEO rarely shares his thoughts on the former MMA fighter, Tate remains vocal about his opinions. Notably, the controversial internet personality even spoke out about the issue of fighter pay in the UFC. In contrast, while White often praises various internet personalities, he has a different stance towards controversial figures and alleged criminals.

When Andrew Tate came in to defend Israel Adesanya after UFC Saudi Arabia

Given his stint as a professional MMA fighter and kickboxer, Andrew Tate enjoys staying connected to the world of combat sports. Interestingly, throughout the years, he has expressed both support and criticism for various UFC fighters. Recently, Tate spoke out to defend his fellow kickboxer and former UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya.

The Nigerian-born Kiwi UFC fighter once enjoyed an impressive streak of wins in the promotion. However, in recent times, Adesanya has been struggling to regain his winning momentum in the UFC middleweight division. In his most recent fight, following his defeat against Nassourdine Imavov, ‘Izzy’ faced a wave of criticism from the public. Nevertheless, Tate was not willing to entertain the backlash against Adesanya.

I hate when people who don’t have the balls to step in the cage type things like “LMFAO.” Laughing at the warrior to feel better about being a coward. Izzy is a legend and braver than 99.99% of men alive. Masculine men show respect to those braver than them. Hating is feminine.

Similar to his relationship with Adesanya, Tate shares a strong camaraderie with many other notable UFC fighters. Interestingly, he and Conor McGregor have often expressed mutual support for one another. However, Tate’s controversial activities may prevent him from attending major UFC events.
