Combat sports news outlet Home of Fight shared White's remarks on X, which stated:''So I thought we almost had a fist fight in one of our executive meetings. Yeah, one of our executives fu*king thought that was absolutely not the right idea. Fu*king freaked out. I thought, you can go home. Well, fu*king problem. You can go sit at home for the next fu*king six, eight months. And I don't want to hear any negativity, don't want to fu*king hear it.''Check out Dana White's comments below:Notably, White's close friend Joe Rogan spoke to comedian Ron White earlier this year on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and discussed the safety measures the UFC took during COVID-19:''It was Justin Gaethje versus Tony Ferguson [UFC 249]...I was watching the fight the other day...They had all had masks on.

[People] used to talk about conspiracy theories, [they are] f**king all true - like every one of them are true. They're all coming to light now... I don't think it was made up. COVID was definitely real, but it came out of a f**king lab and there's no doubt they were ready for it, they profited off it, gave everybody...look at these media people and what they were doing and saying to people, shaming people.''
