Recently, White revealed his admiration of eleven-time Grammy winner Bruno Mars, whom he thinks performs the ‘greatest’ live shows. Catching up with Robbie Fox of Barstool Sports, Dana White said:-

“One guy that I would love, that would be incredibly fun and I know everybody would love it. I’ve seen him twice, is Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars, if you ever come to Vegas and the residency for Bruno Mars is going on, you have to go see Bruno Mars live. He’s unf***ing believable!”

“Absolute showman, incredible performer, and his whole band. It looks like they are having the best f***ing time of their life while they are playing. Which translates to you and that makes you have the best time in your life. It’s one of the greatest live shows you’ll ever see.”

The controversy started when White stated that Paddy Pimblett will ‘probably’ fight Gordon on the UFC’s March 19th London card at the O2 Arena. However, their respective managers were quick on the scene and responded that they didn’t have a clue what the UFC President was talking about.

Addressing the back and forth, White said, “That’s why I don’t like doing that sh*t, you know what I mean. You always got some fu**ing goofball that’s going to come out and go ‘Oh, I haven’t heard a thing about it.’ Call the fu**ing matchmakers then.”
