The Republican National Convention is set for next week. The event, held in Milwaukee, will be the stage to name Donald Trump as the 2024 Republican nominee officially. The man who will introduce him is UFC CEO Dana White.
According to The Wall Street Journal, White will appear at the RNC for the third time, underscoring the strong bond between White and the RNC and Trump and White’s company, the UFC.
Earlier this summer, White and Trump were together at UFC 302, where the presumptive nominee received a standing ovation.
The last time we saw Conor McGregor in the Octagon, he broke his leg in a pretty gruesome fashion while going up against Dustin Poirier. Overall, it was a signal that McGregor is not the fighter he once was. It was the nail in the coffin for his rain of terror, and while fans expected him to come back, they knew it would be in a limited capacity. McGregor was set to return to the fighting world on June 29th during UFC 303, as he would take on Michael Chandler.
Understandably, fans were hyped. However, that excitement turned into skepticism as it became clear that McGregor wasn’t training. Instead, he appeared to be partying every weekend, while engaging in activities that aren’t conducive to winning a fight. Yesterday, White confirmed everyone’s suspicions by revealing that McGregor was out with an injury. Consequently, Chandler will no longer be on the card either.
However, UFC fans do not have to worry about this too much. Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka will now be the main event. As for McGregor, it is now up in the air as to whether or not he will ever fight in the UFC again. He has shown very little interest in the Octagon, and this latest undisclosed injury appears to be further proof of that.
Let us know what you think of this news, in the comments section down below. Did you see this coming given what McGregor has been getting up to as of late? Do you believe that UFC 303 is going to be worth watching now that McGregor is out? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

If you are a fan of Power Slap, or the Lingerie Fighting League, you may know about Sheena Bathory. Overall, she is a 32-year-old bodybuilder who has been making waves in the sports world. In fact, while participating in Dana White’s Power Slap league, she has begun with a record of 2-0. Power Slap is known for being a league in which the opponents just slap each other. Although some believe it isn’t a real sport, it appears to have a real audience right now.
As for Bathory, well, the bodybuilder has opted to get herself a BBL. Yes, that is correct. A Power Slap athlete will now be walking around with a Brazilian Butt Lift. While addressing her fans on social media, Bathory explained why she wanted to go this route. As it turns out, she feels like she was dealing with some stubborn fat, and was ready to do anything to get rid of it. From her research, it seemed like a BBL would help her achieve that goal.
While addressing her fans, she reiterated that this is her body and she can do whatever she wants with it. Some fans were not super impressed with her decision to go the BBL route, and it is easy to see why. Some feel as though it has become a bit of an epidemic. However, for Bathory, it is clear she is confident in her latest decision. Hopefully, she doesn’t have any bad after-effects and is able to continue leveling up in her fighting career.
Bathory In Action
Let us know what you think of this decision from Bathory, in the comments section down below. How do you feel about the BBL craze that seems to be ravaging the world these days? Do you agree that it has gotten out of hand or is it not that big of a deal? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

The rescheduled battle, Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, is still scheduled to debut on Netflix on June 7, 2024, despite the delay. Numerous people have expressed their opinions over the impending bout. Dana White of the UFC has weighed in during an appearance on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast. When Schulz confronted Dana about the fight during the program, the UFC President immediately referred to it as “ridiculous.” He is one of many figures to through out concern over the fight due to the age disparity.
“When this fight happens Tyson will be 58 f**kin years old. Under any circumstances an almost 60-year-old man shouldn’t be fighting a 27-year-old guy under any circumstances… it’s just f**kin ridiculous,” he said. White continued by saying that he is opposed to the fight because he is concerned about Tyson’s health at almost sixty years of age. “Jake Paul’s 27, he’s in his f**kin prime… and I love Mike. No one wants to see Mike get beat by this f**kin j**koff,” Dana White said.
Dana White has commented on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight previously as well. White clarified in March that the age difference was the reason the fight wasn’t “serious.” There are certain benefits to facing a famous fighter like Mike Tyson, though. White said, “He doesn’t [want to be taken seriously]. What Jake wants is Jake wants to make money. The people that follow Jake Paul don’t buy Jake Paul’s fights so Jake Paul has to fight people who can actually sell pay-per-views.”
Many others tried to claim Tyson’s slot when the Paul vs. Tyson bout was rescheduled because of the famed boxer’s health problems. This includes Roy Jones Jr., a past opponent of Tyson. He stated he will make sure to be ready for a battle if the chance to do so arises. Tyson could be in serious danger simply because of his age. Whatever you think about these YouTube/content creator boxing matches, they still are combat. Overall, Dana White might be on to something. We hope, if the fight goes through, that nothing happens to Iron Mike, whose health has been up in the air.
Travis Scott made an appearance at the Power Slap 6 event last Friday (February 9). The event was helmed by Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and consisted of contestants trading hard slaps. Obviously, this sounds like a lot. And to Scott, it was.
In a video shared to social media, Scott is seen in the audience, as two women approach a podium, ready to strike each other in the face. One woman slaps her opponent so hard that she fell to the ground, causing the audience to get up out of their seats and stand in shock.
Scott was visibly shaken up by the slap, so much so that he removed his sunglasses, as he couldn’t believe what he had seen. He also looks around through the crowd, wondering if they had seen what he’d just seen.
Following the event, Scott appeared on a livestream with White, who had nothing but high praises for the “Fein” artist.
“When you meet people that you admire and they’re worth your admiration, it’s always cool,” said White. “I get the whole Travis Scott thing, not just his shoes are cool. He’s one of the funniest and coolest guys I’ve ever met.”

There was an awkward moment during the recording of Howie Mandel’s podcast when guest Dana White abruptly walked out minutes into the show. After Mandel introduced his guest with plenty of praise, White dropped the mic. “Howie, thank you for the kind words. But I’m f-cking tired of doing podcasts. I’m not doing any more podcasts,” White said before abruptly leaving. The cameras continued to roll as everyone just looked at each other in shock.
White has been on a hell of a media tour lately in the run-up to UFC 300 later this year. It’s unclear if he had just reached his breaking point or if there is a deeper issue for the UFC boss. This is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.
Of course, as the face of the UFC, White is usually first in the line of fire when people have a problem with the promotion. This was incredibly apparent last year when the UFC partnered with Bud Light. The brand returned as the promotion’s official beer after the two sides originally parted ways in 2019. “Everybody on every side of this deal that were involved — other beer companies and everything else — absolutely, positively knows that this was not about money for me. We were going to end up with money no matter who we ended up with,” White said. Furthermore, he said it was “f-cking stupid” for people to say it was just about the money. White argued that all sponsorships are about money.
Bud Light has been the target of right-wing outrage for most of the year. It follows the brand’s decision to partner transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. That led to many right-wing individuals saying they were going to boycott the beer. This in turn led to wild inflated claims as to how much money Amherser-Busch reportedly lost over the deal. At most, Bud Light saw a year-on-year decrease of around 10% during the second quarter of 2023. However, the brand remains one of America’s top beer products.

However, the UFC is not the only right-leaning property to be seen enjoying the beer. Musician Kid Rock was spotted enjoying a Bud Light while attending a concert in August. This was in spite of Rock being one of the loudest voices calling for a boycott. Numerous photos showed the ex-husband of Pamela Anderson holding onto the familiar tall blue can while wearing one of his signature hats at a Colt Ford show in Nashville.
Many people jokingly referred to Rock as a “hypocrite”. However, there was a very different reaction occurring amongst his right-wing compatriots. Those who politically aligned with Rock scrambled to his defense, stating that the pictures were fake and an intentional attack on Rock. “Actually he was drinking Coors Light can. This is a lie someone altered it,” one right-wing account claimed. Meanwhile, other right-wingers tried to claim that they “always suspected” that Rock was a secret liberal trying to be MAGA for the clout.
Dana White is someone who has gained a considerable amount of wealth over the years. Overall, he is the president of the UFC, and he is also the man behind Power Slap. Although he can be a controversial figure, he continues to be a huge part of the fight world. For better or for worse, he is the man who signs the cheques of some of the best fighters in the entire world. He continues to be a powerful and influential force, and that probably will not change anytime soon.
Unfortunately, when you are as rich and famous as he is, there are going to be people out there looking to take you down. Overall, that was on full display recently as a man showed up to his home and tried to kick his door down. We know this because White has cameras on his property, right outside of his front door. While taking to social media, White revealed what happened. Below, you can see a man repeatedly kicking at his door, trying to get in. However, the man eventually just runs away.
This happened at White’s home in Levant, Maine. As White describes, he is willing to give $2500 to anyone who calls the police with the man’s identity. So far, it doesn’t seem like there have been any takers. However, we’re sure the power of White’s online community can come together on this one. After all, Levant, Maine is not a massive town, so there is probably someone out there who is keeping tabs on the situation. Either way, it was probably a bit frightening for White to watch this all play out.
Hopefully, White is able to figure out this crime and get some piece of mind. Perhaps more security measures are in order. Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world. We will always keep you informed of the latest news from the biggest artists in the world.

The fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg may be dead, but that doesn’t mean we’re done with the billionaire MMA. Dana White has confirmed that Mark Zuckerberg is indeed serious considering making his debut under the UFC promotion. “He and I talk multiple times a week,” White said of Zuckerberg. “And we had dinner last Monday. He’s very serious about competing. And when he mentioned it, he said — listen — what he was saying in response to Elon was there are tons of professional organizations out there and this is the way this should be done, not in some backyard or whatever Elon was saying.” White, who was speaking with TMZ, explained that Zuckerberg was put off after it became clear that Elon was trying to avoid a formal fight and was looking for something more amateur.
But now, Zuck’s eyeing the UFC. “I would say he is absolutely interested,” White said of Zuck fighting under his promotion. He didn’t give many more details but it’s a major update to the whole billionaire MMA situation. Side note – there has been so many inadvertent pop culture references in this entire debacle. Elon saying that X would stream the fight is straight out of Silicon Valley. Then there’s that plot line in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. when Monica’s dating the super-rich guy who really wants to be an MMA fighter but also sucks at MMA.
White didn’t give many details. He was primarily on TMZ to hype O’Malley-Sterling, the headline fight for UFC 292 in Boston this weekend. However, he appears very onboard with the idea of the Meta founder fighting under the UFC banner. As previously reported, Zuckerberg is very serious about his combat sports. It’s a big reason why he pulled out of the fight with Elon – he (Zuck) actually cares about this.
Earlier this week, Vicente Luque also weighed in on the idea of Zuck fighting in the promotion. “I definitely think [a Zuckerberg fight is] something that can happen. It does seem like he’s really disciplined,” Luque told TMZ. “He not trying just to hype all this stuff. He’s trying to work the right way, build himself little by little from the ground up. And I respect that a lot. I think it has to be a fight that makes sense. I think it has to be a guy that has kind of like the same level of experience, you know, because competing in combat sports is something that is not only about the technique and the skills you have, it’s also very mental. So I feel like that would be an important thing.”
