"I did one interview with CBS, and I didn't answer the question the way they thought I should answer the question, so I don't care about the UFC anymore?"
"Well, I'll tell you what, here's my answer: come see what we do in 2026 going into 2027, and you will find out that I care very much about the UFC,"
"Honestly, when I became the CEO of the company, my job description has changed a little bit. I'm taking on more, and I don't know what they saw in the CBS interview- I don't even know how to answer that question. It's weird- one interview, one question in the interview, to think I don't care about the UFC anymore. It's kind of a weird thing."
Dana White denies suggestions that he has 'checked out' of the UFC despite reduced attendance at some post-fight press conferences. He attributes criticism to a single CBS Mornings appearance that some felt underplayed the significance of Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes. White insists one interview did not change his commitment and invites observers to judge by UFC plans for 2026–2027. He cites involvement across multiple enterprises — the UFC, Zuffa boxing, UFC BJJ, PowerSlap, a Meta board seat, and a planned UFC White House show — and notes that his CEO role has broadened his responsibilities.
