Right before he began roasting the retired NFL star, White expressed his discontent with Netflix. He revealed that he didn’t like getting just one minute to talk, despite having flown miles to reach the venue in Los Angeles. Furthermore, he made sure that the officials knew who he actually was. “You guys gave me 60 seconds? My name is Dana!” he said.

Thereafter, the UFC honcho went on to garner gags from the audience as he began roasting his friend from the NFL. During his short time with the mic, he made fun of Brady’s running. However, he couldn’t help himself from uplifting his fighters.
