UFC CEO Dana White is coming clean about his walkout on Howie Mandel’s podcast.
In the days leading up to UFC 298 in February, White appeared on a slew of podcasts to promote the event. Certainly nothing out of the ordinary, but one particular appearance made headlines.
Sitting down with actor and comedian Howie Mandel, White declared, “I am so f*cking tired of doing podcasts” before taking off his headset, getting up, and walking out mere seconds into the interview. Mandel and others in the studio sat in stunned silence.
As it turns out, the whole thing was staged as White and Mandel had already met earlier that same day and concocted the scheme.
