Dana White unmoved by criticism over UFC’s AI ‘slop’ promos
It might save the UFC a few bucks, but AI is still incredibly bad at producing promos.

"For what it would cost you for one pay-per-view, you can watch everything UFC for the year."
Dana White revealed the UFC White House card has already hit a stumbling block before it's even been announced.
The UFC is eating the bill for their upcoming White House event this summer in what will be by far their most expensive event ever.
"The status quo is not good for boxing or boxing fans."
"When you're talking about what Strickland says, you guys like to push the buttons."
"They didn't want to set a precedent of giving me the guaranteed money that I deserve, because once I raise that tide, it lifts all the boats."
"He is the only promoter of combat sports who has built an institution."
"We’re going to make the Sphere look like f*cking ash tray money.”
"These guys gotta make some money too."
"He is insufferable on these broadcasts."
Dana White said he "didn't love it."
"To pretend you are not positioning the company in a certain direction is disingenuous."
Former ESPN and 'First Take' star Molly Qerim will host Zuffa Boxing events for Paramount+.
The event will air June 14 as part of the America 250 festivities celebrating the quarter-millennium anniversary of the founding of the U.S.
"I like being on YouTube. It reaches more people. Nobody tells me what to do."
"I look forward to 2026 being our best year ever."
"What do you want me to do? Roll over and let you tickle my belly? No."
This will mark White's first appearance on CBS since the UFC's announcement of the Paramount media right deal.
The response comes after White addressed Helwani in a recent podcast interview.
"Dana’s interpretation of media doing its job is "showboating” and "being an a**hole," which is laughable."
"Everybody is a competitor to us in the sport."
"It's America, baby. First Amendment."
ESPN would potentially fold the archive into its new direct-to-consumer offering.
