Dana White celebrates Khloé Kardashian’s podcast rise after unexpected cameo on record-breaking show
Dana White has extended his support for Khloé Kardashian’s podcast aspirations following his appearance on her show. The podcast, which debuted earlier this year and already has 14 episodes, is a success with over 121 million video views and 425 million impressions on X.
In a recent episode of the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, Kardashian had White as a guest in an almost 45 minutes long video. The two discussed a variety of topics, including parenting, MMA and many more.
In response to Kardashian's entry into the podcasting scene with such great numbers, White posted an Instagram story and issued a congratulatory message, writing:
''Congrats @khloekardashian Keep kickin as*s!!”''
During their conversation, White expressed his thoughts on what he believes makes mixed martial arts such a fascinating sport that draws interest from people worldwide, saying:
''It's just something inside us as human beings. We get fighting and we like it, and we are fascinated by who the toughest person in the world is. We are all drawn to it, and I mean, if you think of [Mike] Tyson in his peak, when that guy would walk into a room, the whole place would go, 'Holy sh*t, there's Mike Tyson.' No other sport has that."
The UFC CEO then went on to highlight the popularity of mixed martial arts, saying that no other sport can match it:
''You know, you'd be excited, 'Oh, there's Michael Jordan or whoever.' But when one of those guys walks into the room and they're looked at as the baddest human being on the planet, men, women, everybody is just drawn to it."

Dana White talks about criticism he has received over the years
Although many in the MMA community have praised Dana White for effectively managing the UFC, he has faced criticism for a number of reasons. These include the pay structure, his strong views on fighters' performance in the cage, and many more.
In the aformentioned conversation with Khloé Kardashian, White opened up about his approach to dealing with critics, saying:
''When they talk about canceling people, like getting canceled. It's always fascinating to me because who cancels you? Like you live in a cul-de-sac with your entire family, right? That's all you give a sh*t about... Who gives a sh*t what everybody else thinks or what their opinions are... You can only be canceled if you allow people that you don't give a sh*t about to cancel you."
