You may have heard beef between fighters, ex-fighters, and even coaches, however, there’s a new beef in the town that is as funny as hell. Dana White recently uploaded a video on his social media about a reckless Fed-Ex driver throwing the delivery packages inside his van. The UFC head honcho was flabbergasted by this incident and recorded it. The UFC CEO thought it was just unprofessional to do your job that way, however, he waived it off like a joke.

Dana White gives his two cents on his viral video

The viral video must be a laughing stock for many including the UFC CEO Dana White but it is a serious concern for the reputation of the multi-million dollar entity. After the video gained traction, Fed-Ex had to come forth publicly to apologize to the masses for the mismanagement. In an apology letter to TMZ, they said, “The behavior depicted in the video is unacceptable and inconsistent with the professionalism FedEx demonstrates every day. We are committed to treating our customers’ packages with the utmost care, and this driver is no longer providing service for our company as a result of this behavior.”

Well, Dana White might not have expected his video to have such a disastrous outcome for the delivery driver. In a conversation with the media at the UFC St.Louis, White was asked about his opinion on his viral video to which the 54-year-old said, “My thoughts on him throwing boxes? that was hilarious you know that’s why I posted it,” said White.

When the reporter asked the CEO if the fired delivery driver could get a job in the UFC, he responded, “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. Hopefully, he gets a job that he loves.” Well, White might not give the Fed-Ex driver a chance in his company and it might be specifically because he is a person who likes to keep such people around who are loyal to him and his company.

White keeps his employees closer

O͏ne might ͏hav͏e heard ͏rumors that Dan͏a White͏ do͏esn’t͏͏ trea͏t his employees ͏well, bu͏͏t th͏i͏s might͏ have been ͏just͏ a rumor. Ac͏cording to peopl͏e working there, White m͏ig͏ht be hars͏h som͏etimes, but he doesn’t ͏shy away from offering help. One thing͏ that͏ Whit͏e valu͏es the most i͏s loyalt͏y; if ͏you are͏ loyal to ͏him, he will be loyal to you.͏

Back in 2021, Dana White in an interview with Tough Business explained that loyalty prevails for him.  “I’m super fuc*ing psychotically crazy about loyalty, ok. And if you’re loyal to me, I’m loyal to you. At the end of the day, everybody wants to do what they love.Whether you work in this company and you are a part of the production team. You’re part of PR, you’re the marketing team, whatever. Everybody wants to do what they love, everybody wants to work and take care of their family.”

Nonetheless, White’s policy r͏evolves around loyalty,͏ wit͏h the prime example being when Joe Rogan ͏was on t͏he verge of being fired by the promotion d͏ue͏ to ͏a misundersta͏nding. Dana White threatened that he would step dow͏n as pres͏ident ͏if that ever happened. The conclusion was that the promotion had to take back their decision. Well, White demands loyalty and if you have it he will take you.
