Dana White was, in his own words, “f*cking tired of doing podcasts.” White previously had abruptly walked out of Howie Mandel’s podcast “Howie Mander Does Stuff Podcast’. But seemingly, his stance on the same has changed ever since and the head honcho has been rightly called out for the same.
White has already appeared on multiple podcasts in the aftermath of the walkout. Both fans and Mandel were left in awe wondering what exactly went wrong. The incident happened quickly. Mandel introduced White and once the introduction was done, the UFC head honcho walked off. Now, he was recently seen attending yet another podcast with NFL star Maxx Crosby.
The theories are manifold. Perhaps Dana White was just too tired at the moment or maybe, it was something Mandel said that set the UFC boss off. Either way, one thing is for certain, White isn’t done with podcasts and it just shows.

Soon after the incident, White would appear on ‘Games With Names’, a podcast hosted by Julian Edelman, a former Patriot star. During Crosby’s podcast, White was as candid as he could be, discussing a range of things from the UFC to his personal health. This could only mean that the Mandel incident was an isolated one. Here’s how White clarified it later.
“Yeah, please. You know where I’m at with the podcasts. I feel like f**ing Jordan Peterson every time I turn on Instagram, I’m on a f**ing podcast. Yes, no more podcasts, please. Podcasted out,” White told the press during the post-fight press conference of UFC 298. But fans are still holding on to his walkout.
Fans react to Dana White on yet another podcast.
UFC fans are watching Dana White very closely all the time. After all, he is the man the promotion depends on. So when he walked out, the theories went wild. Now, after Crosby’s podcast aired on YouTube, fans couldn’t hold back their hilarious takes.
“I thought Dana was done with podcasts. Max pulled him outta retirement.”
While some joked around White’s retirement from podcasting, others pointed at the irony.
“It was his last podcast two podcasts ago!”
“For a guy that hates podcasts this guy is on a lot of podcasts”
Some just couldn’t believe it.
“Is this a old upload? I thought he is done with Podcast?”
Others praised Crosby’s abilities.
“Crosby got Dana white to do a podcast ??? Mf goat”

Dana White clearly has his priorities in a little bit of a mess as UFC 300 approaches. It’s not uncommon for someone with his fame to become tired of doing publicity for the promotion again and again. Will White keep appearing in podcasts still? Probably. Can the same be said for Mandel’s podcast? We leave that to you.
