UFC CEO Dana White is on Elon Musk’s side when it comes to not succumbing to advertiser pressure.

Last week, Musk went viral when he basically told advertisers like Disney, who were threatening to pull their ads from Twitter/X over some of his controversial comments, to go F themselves.

“Don’t advertise. If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f— yourself.”

During his postfight press conference at UFC Austin, White was asked about Elon’s stance on advertiser pressure, and he agreed with the billionaire mogul’s attitude towards sponsors.

“There’s more people than just me and Elon now that feel that way,” “It’s like, just because you sponsor us doesn’t mean you run this business, and you’re definitely not telling me what to do. That’s a fact. That’s never going to happen, ever.”

“Don’t ever f—– call me and tell me what you want me to do because you sponsor us,” “That is never going to happen. So if that’s the type of person that you are, don’t even bother trying to sponsor the UFC.”

White recently replaced all Pelotons from UFC HQ to Echelon bikes after Peloton tried to pressure Theo Von from pulling an interview with Robert Kennedy Jr.
