Please, Dana White. Thank you, Dana. Yeah, Dana. Okay, Dana, I've been asking everybody basically three questions about their league. Uh, for you, you obviously have two, so you can kind of hammer both if you'd like at the same time or we can do one at a time. But for you right now, what is going incredible with the business? What is something that you're uh very excited about and what you thought was going to go well has gone very well? Well, there's three actually. I got Power Slap, too. So, I got three that I'm juggling right now and everything is good. I mean, uh obviously we're we're heading into this White House fight. Um you know, the Freedom 250, uh we're doing the South
Lawn of the White House and we're going to have 75,000 fans each day at the Ellipse. Uh the press conference from the Lincoln Memorial, the weigh-ins, FanFest, everything that's going on. And on the Zufa boxer side, I'm heading into uh my first fight um with Sky Sports in England. We're going to Bournemouth with a great fight, Chris Bum Smith uh versus Ryan Rzziki. Um just had a power slap event that was incredible. Um I mean things could not be better. I mean, we're looking down the barrel of an amazing summer, too. Uh Conor McGregor's coming back and fighting uh Holloway during International Fight Week. On that card, we also have Benois Saint versus Patty Pimpblelet. And uh yeah, everything's good, man. I don't have any complaints
other than uh I'm just crazy busy. I'm I'm actually in Paulo Alto right now at my Meta board meeting, which uh dropped this on my head, too. It's just been it's been a crazy year so far. Okay. Well, congratulations, man. from becoming fight promoter, boxing promoter into this mogul that you are now. Doing a fight on the White House is obviously a uh on White House grounds is an insane thing, a historic thing celebrating 250 years of the United States of America and obviously oldest sport in the book. Combat sport as a whole. Congrats to you. Okay, so that leads to I guess some questions here about the potential negative. Is there any what are you
thinking of or what is worrying you about any of your businesses right now? This is kind of the next question that we've been asking everybody. Oh god. I mean, nothing is worrying me. Nothing is uh I don't worry about a lot. We're good at what we do. Um we've built this unbelievable machine. Craig Borsari, my OCD head of production, is uh is in uh DC now till the 15th. He's living there until this project's done. And obviously we've run we're building the claw right now which is what you just showed the picture of. That's the lighting grid that I wanted so that when we're filming this fight you won't see a
light, a microphone uh any lighting grid with all you will see is the full White House in the back while you're watching the fight. And if it goes the other way, you'll see the Washington Monument. And obviously we've run into the problems there. You know, it rained like eight days straight in DC since my team's been out there building that thing. Uh some guy shows up and starts shooting. Uh they lock my team down for like three hours. Uh when that happened, it's just about getting the work done. Now we got two weeks to do all the bells and whistles and get this event done. All right. Well, congratulations on, you know, seemingly working through all the adversity, including a shooting
situation. So, shout out to your people that are working their asses off over there. We can't wait to see the event. And I appreciate your mindset of we're not worried, okay? We got things we got to deal with. We got good people. We'll definitely do that. Okay. That leads to this future for you. You got uh Power Slap, you got Zufa, you got UFC, obviously TKO uh ownership of I don't know if they're a part of Power Slap, but I do know they are a part of Zufa and obviously the UFC at this moment. So, what is future for you? What are you just gonna continue to develop different ways for people to hit people or like what do you think future is for Dana White?
They're like the mafia. They got a cut of everything. Yeah. No doubt. No doubt, dude. Uh you know what I have to do? Uh I have seven years to deliver for Paramount. I'm I'm really excited about this relationship. They have already been incredible partners to us. They're so fired up about being in business with us. So, we need to deliver for them. I want to take uh you know, boxing slap and UFC to places that we've never been before. Um and just continue to build and grow the business. That's what I love to do and that's what we're going to do over the next uh 10 years. Well, we appreciate the uh opportunities you give to athletes to make a living and to give us all a show. And uh good
luck with everything that's on the plate and I assume you'll handle it all perfectly. You're the man, Dana. Take care, brother. Thanks for having me. Have a great day. Hey, and tell the meta people we need some uh Weren't we supposed to do? Weren't we supposed to go live in a world? We're supposed to go live in a world at some point. Tell them to figure that out. What do you want? What do you need? What are you asking for? What do you need?
