UFC President Dana White has never been one to shy away from telling those who represent the MMA media community how he feels about them.
White’s feud with veteran MMA reporter Ariel Helwani is one that has stood the test of time. You won’t find Confectioner and White rubbing elbows together, and for good reason.
But in the UFC boss’ latest rant, he really went all out, to include those who run blog sites… like this.
Barstool sportswriter Robbie Fox was talking to White about a video he posted last month where he thanked the UFC boss for flying him to Las Vegas and covering his trip expenses for the event. See that first below.

In his most recent video, Fox said White didn’t get him out there as “informative” but rather as “influential.”
“Tell the rest of the media who think they’re professionals to kiss your ass,” White told Fox on the My Mom’s Basement podcast. “Every single one of these scumbags is a bunch of unprofessional bags. P-k every single one of them. They are all bad.
He continued, “I would like to see any ‘professionals’ call you unprofessional.” “They’re a bunch of blogger kings, they’re all full of bad. They’re not media, they’re bloggers. Big difference. 100 and the king percent. Exactly.”
White continued his sermon…. So why stop there?
“Listen up. Let me tell you how powerful and influential the media is.” “If it had been up to the media, the UFC would never have done that, okay? If it had been up to the media, we would never have COVID. If it had been up to the media that had any kind of influence or power, if it was important on Launch, Power Slap won’t do what it’s doing now. So let them talk (raises middle fingers).”
Ruby Fox: I just want to clear the air here, this one, and you can vouch for that, I hope you didn’t take me out because I’m a member of the media, but because of my status as a world celebrity.
