Dana White has claimed one man will 'beat the sh*t out' of everyone if he became an MMA fighter.
White has promoted the biggest names in combat sports, including UFC legends Chuck Liddell, Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.
The 56-year-old has transcended the MMA world, having struck friendships with US president Donald Trump and FBI director Kash Patel, who has launched an investigation into the UFC over claims of fights being fixed inside the Octagon.
Not to mention Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has trained with several UFC fighters, including Alex Pereira, Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya.

The 41-year-old is a big MMA fan and often seen cageside at the biggest UFC events.
Despite the billionaire entrepreneur training regularly, he has been criticised by some sections of the internet.
But White insists he is not a 'computer nerd', claiming he would 'beat the sh*t out' of everyone.
"He trains in MMA, he surfs, he does all this sh*t. Zuckerberg will beat the sh*t out of you," the UFC chief said on The Skinny Confidential podcast.
"Everybody thinks he’s some computer nerd, Mark Zuckerberg will beat the living sh*t out of you. All these guys that talk stuff about him on the internet, he’ll kick their ass."
White added: "The moral of this story is all you telephone tough guys and internet tough guys that talk sh*t about Mark Zuckerberg - Zuckerberg will beat the sh*t out of every one of you. Just for the record."
His love for MMA almost saw him have a fight against fellow social media boss Elon Musk, with the Colosseum in Rome mooted as a potential location.
Zuckerberg vs. Musk never came to fruition despite speculation, but White found the whole saga 'fascinating'.
He said: "That whole thing was fascinating. A fun moment in my career... promoting the Elon-Zuckerberg fight and trying to put that thing together was a lot of fun, too."
Zuckerberg has competed in grappling tournaments and was awarded a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 2023.
