Dana White is not an easy man to impress, but a fast-food restaurant employee has won the approval of the UFC boss! In a recent post shared on social media, White highlighted a stunning decision made by an employee of the ‘El Pollo Loco’ chain of restaurants. White was full of praise for the young man in the video and things turned out better for him than the FedEx employee who found himself losing his job because of White’s social media antics, pointing out his carelessness. As such, the contrasting stories highlight the power of integrity and the unwavering commitment some individuals have to their principles!

Dana White’s massive social media following may have also led to some unintended consequences. In a recent video that went viral online, the UFC boss filmed a clip of a FedEx employee seemingly not caring about the packages he was supposed to deliver as he threw them into the back of his delivery truck. White jokingly commented on the scene, “FedEx, we’ll get your shit there, but we’ll f*ck it up.”

However, the company didn’t appreciate the video gaining traction as they released a statement shortly after which stated, “…this driver is no longer providing service for our company as a result of this behavior.” White was also asked if he was willing to give the man who lost his job a place in the UFC, to which he responded by stating, “uhh I don’t know, I’m sure he gonna get a job. He doesn’t look like he loves that job, I can tell you that.”

However, in a different video shared on his Instagram story, White highlighted another end of the spectrum as he lauded a young man for his decision to turn down $100,000! He captioned the post, “@razzaqlocks offered this kid 100k to quit his job. He said he wouldn’t do that to his co-workers. This kid has integrity and good things happen to good people!! @elpolloloco This is your employee of the decade”

The young man in the video was also provided $15,000 for his remarkable decision to maintain his loyalty towards his company and co-workers from the man who originally offered him the 100K. When asked about why he didn’t quit, the employee simply stated about his team, “I don’t wanna leave them like, suffering…”

This loyalty and commitment towards his team is something Dana White could get behind as in the past, he showed the same emotions towards the UFC team, especially Joe Rogan!

During a challenging period in 2022, Dana White demonstrated unwavering loyalty to his longtime friend and commentator, Joe Rogan. In the UFC boss’s appearance on his podcast episode no.421, host Lex Fridman revealed a pivotal moment where White offered his resignation during a call with Rogan, who was facing the prospect of being sidelined from UFC events because of a controversial video compilation of him surfacing online.

Confirming Fridman’s account, White reiterated his principle of reciprocity and mutual loyalty, emphasizing the importance of supporting those who have supported him. He stated, “When you’re with me, you’re with me. It’s a two-way street. It’s not a one-way street… Joe Rogan has been very loyal to me, and I am very loyal to Joe Rogan.”

In conclusion, in a world where loyalty is often tested and relationships can be fleeting, White’s actions serve as a beacon of integrity and steadfastness. His praise for the El Pollo Loco employee acts as a reminder that integrity and loyalty are virtues that transcend individual circumstances and lead to positive outcomes.
