Dana White and his company spend millions annually on travel alone. However, it seems like his last trip did not meet his expectations as the UFC head honcho publicly lashed out at a $40 billion company on his social media account for being ‘incompetent.’ Taking to his Instagram story, the UFC head honcho called out NetJets for an undisclosed recent incident that truly drew his ire.
As a result, he wrote him a scathing review that surely will affect their reputation considering he has 9.7 million followers on his Instagram. He wrote, “Hey @netjets, you are literally the sh**tiest backward a**, incompetent company I have even done business with!!! Congrats” Well, it surely looks like Dana White might’ve faced some major issue if it led him to take things out on the company online on social media.
After all, as per reports, the UFC owns five corporate jets, and the company’s yearly costs on travel were about $9 million. So it truly shows that White knows a thing or two about the personal jet experience.

But for now, hopefully, Dana White won’t be spending any more time on the jet issue as he got his hands full with the next big pay-per-view, UFC 309. However, this wasn’t the first time that the UFC head honcho has lashed out at a company for their actions. In fact, one famous incident took place last year with the company Peloton.
Dana White’s major beef with Peloton Bikes
What’s your perspective on:
Is Dana White's no-nonsense approach a breath of fresh air or a risky business move?
Have an interesting take?
Dana White’s beef with Peloton bikes began after the UFC head honcho became a part of Theo Von’s podcast, “This Past Weekend.” During the show, the host shared an incident that he had with his show sponsor Peloton bikes that infuriated the UFC CEO. Von revealed that he was asked by the sponsor to take down an episode featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And when he asked for the reason behind it, they stated that their values did not align with Kennedy’s views on certain subjects; as a result, they wanted Theo Von to get rid of the entire episode that they shot. This was definitely something that White could barely digest. As a result, he spoke out with indignation, “Peloton, what do they sell, f—ing… stationary bikes?” He took things further as he then added, “F—you, Peloton.”
Such was his anger that he soon replaced all the Peleton bikes he had in UFC gyms and added Echelon bikes instead. Something that he added to his Instagram story. In another instance, he once went against his own UFC sponsor after he showed his support for Donald Trump on Instagram. When a sponsor asked White to take the post down, he simply said, “Go f*** yourself.” Well, it surely looks like Dana White doesn’t care if he’s up against an individual or corporate. But what do you think? Is it wise for White to go against such companies? Let us know in the comments.
