UFC President Dana White has at all times been known for his controversial statements and loudmouth nature. Just years after his previous concerning statements regarding his Power Slap fighting promotion, White has now opened up regarding men’s mental health.
Recently, during an interview with TIME’s Sean Gregory ahead of the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 event, White and USA President Donald Trump opened up concerning the match card in addition to other topics.
“Talking about it publicly, I just feel prefer it opens the door to make young men think that it’s OK to only f**king go, ‘Oh, I’m having mental [health issues] (White says in a whiny voice),” White opened up on if men should discuss their mental health publicly.
“Handle it behind closed doors. Don’t show that weakness to anybody. I’m unapologetically masculine. What’s toxic masculinity? Who has it? Who’s too masculine?” the 56-year-old further claimed.
Nevertheless, his comments didn’t sit well with the web users, who immediately responded in their very own style. Fans immediately brought up White’s controversial incident along with his wife from 2022, where he had slapped her in public. Responding to his thoughts on men’s mental health, fans wrote, “Dude slapped his wife in public. Idk about this guy as a source for anything apart from entertainment.”
One other fan wrote, “Taking mental health advice from a man who hits his wife, what could go incorrect?” While one other fan politely stated that White was incorrect on this case and the way people should open up about their mental health issues.
In lower than a month, UFC Freedom 250 is about to happen on the White House on Jun. 14, 2026.
