Watch the bizarre moment UFC chief Dana White storms off Howie Mandel’s show after host spent 30 seconds singing his praises: ‘I am so f***ing tired of doing podcasts’

UFC President Dana White ended his appearance on the ‘Howie Mandel Does Stuff’ podcast just seconds after being introduced as a guest.

Mandel opened the 164th episode by showering the 54-year-old with praise. However, after graciously accepting the compliments, White made it clear that he no longer wishes to participate in podcasts and walked out of the studio.

“Thank you for all the kind words, I appreciate it,” White said.

‘I’m so sick of making podcasts. I’m literally done with them. I’m done making podcasts.’

White then moved his microphone aside and placed his headphones on the desk before standing and getting out of his chair. Mandel, guest Ginger Billy and his co-host and daughter Jackelyn Shultz were stunned when White closed the door behind him.

Before his premature departure, Mandel praised White’s accolades as he spearheaded the UFC’s rise to mainstream success over the past decade.

“Dana White, you are not only a great businessman, you are an inspiration, a philosopher – the way you do business, maintain friendships and manage media,” Mandel said. “I’m jealous and I can’t thank you enough for being here.”

After White unexpectedly said peace and left, the program continued, with Ginger Billy becoming the primary focus.

White’s previous podcast appearances include Logan Paul’s “IMPAULSIVE” and the NELK Boys’ “Full Send.”

White is currently working on the highly anticipated UFC 300 card scheduled for April 13. With UFC 298 and 299 already happening, fans are adamant as to why White has yet to announce the main event for April’s pay-per-view.

So far the card is filled with Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway who will fight for the BMF title. Another title fight that was announced features Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan battling for strawweight queenship.

The card is far from top-heavy, with the likes of Charles Oliveira, Jiri Prochazka, Aljamain Sterling, Cody Garbrandt and Kayla Harrison all ready to compete. However, the top of the bill still remains unnamed with just over two months to go.

In addition to the UFC, White has invested heavily in his slap fight promotion ‘Power Slap’. This weekend, the promotion held its sixth event and first outside of the UFC Apex.

White brought plenty of star power to the Durango Casino & Resort in Las Vegas ahead of Super Bowl Sunday for Power Slap 6. Tom Brady, Travis Scott, Pat McAfee, Charles Barkley, The Chainsmokers and Machine Gun Kelly were all in attendance.

With Power Slap being White’s newest venture, the UFC was also well represented in the crowd. Former middleweight champion Sean Strickland, recently retired knockout artist Jorge Masvidal and UFC legend Chuck Liddell were all in attendance at the event. Former UFC investors Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta also showed their support.
