Turki Alalshikh Dragged Into ‘Sugar Daddy’ Banter by Dana White and Bob Menery Before Noche UFC Sphere Collaboration

The relationship Dana White has with the Saudi Arabian adviser, Turki Alalshikh, is something that many crave to have. The Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of the country is a pretty huge fan of combat sports. Needless to say, he played a major role in the debut of the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Saudi Arabia. However, the fight fans didn’t expect Him to get dragged into a banter about sugar daddies.

Well, that’s what happened when one of the hosts for Full Send Podcast stumbled upon a visual of White with Alalshikh. Let’s see how the conversation proceeded.

Dana White and HE Turki Alalshikh enter the sugar daddy banter

The UFC head honcho recently appeared on the set of Full Send Podcast, wherein White revealed that he flew to Los Angeles, the previous night to meet the Saudi Arabian adviser, probably for a talk about Noche UFC Sphere. However, before he could finish his sentences, Bob Menery swooped in and said, “Come here daddy, come here… So, Dana always talk about sugar daddy.”

Within moments, the entire room burst into laughter. The UFC CEO commended Menery for making such a hilarious joke. But the other members of the podcast were oblivious to the jokes. Menery walked them through it all. He said, “When I saw that I was drooling at the mouth… Dana is so thrown off guard. There’s this guy who’s obviously a respectful person in the area. I don’t know what to say here, all right. I don’t know what to say. You’re bugging me out! So like, there’s this guy… he takes Dana’s arm and kinda guides him to somewhere, like three steps, and then that’s that! So, I just see that and I’m like, ‘We got him! We got him, Dana! Sit him in the laboratory’ But now then I made the sugar daddy reference. I said, ‘Mr. White sugar daddy.’”

But when the UFC CEO shared this with HE Turki Alalshikh, the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority didn’t seem to like it. White revealed, “He texted me and said, ‘I don’t ever wanna hear about sugar daddies ever again’.”

Needless to say, the UFC bossman has appreciated the efforts of He Turki Alalshikh in helping the MMA promotion grow exponentially throughout the globe. But do you know what HE had in surprise for White?

HE Turki Alalshikh wants to convince the UFC CEO for a movie with Zack Snyder

Earlier in July 2024, His Excellency took to X, and revealed that he was spending his time with the legendary director Zack Snyder, his wife, and the UFC head honcho. But the tweet also worked as a catalyst to enhance the suspense revolving around UFC and Snyder. Later, he pointed out that he had a meeting with White and Snyder for a movie about the UFC.

His Excellency quoted, “I want to have a meeting with [Dana White] and the director Zack Snyder, who’s a friend. We want to talk about doing [a] big movie about the UFC. Like ‘The Cinderella Man’ [or] something like this. I would like to convince Zach Snyder — he liked the idea — and convince also Dana.”

Although formal confirmations from Snyder and White are yet to come, the excitement regarding a movie about the greatest MMA promotion is palpable. With HE Turki Alalshikh behind the idea, the movie is probably going to have a pretty hefty budget, don’t you think?
