Dana White Deals With Death Threats Like An Absolute Alpha: VIDEO

Dana White isn't afraid to deal with some death threats.

The UFC boss is known for being a brutally honest man, and not being afraid to speak his mind when he has something he wants to say.

He's built a reputation over the past couple decades as a straight shooter and as someone who doesn't back down.

That includes to those threatening to kill him.

Dana White reveals how he handles death threats.

White sat down with Lex Fridman for a lengthy podcast on a bunch of different topics, and one of the things discussed was dealing with death threats in the earlier days of UFC. Apparently, there was a competitor who liked to regularly threaten to kill Dana White. Did he back down or run scared no? He just fired back with some f-bombs.

"This guy used to text me every day telling me he was going to kill me. Legitimately going to kill me. 'You punk motherf*cker. I'm going to kill you. You don't understand who I am and what I've done.' This and that. I think this guy would get drunk or do drugs every night or whatever his deal was. This guy would call me, text me and threaten my life every day. I used to go, 'F*ck you' This and that," White explained during the interview with Fridman.

Hell yeah, Dana. Hell yeah. Inject this kind of energy right into my soul. You simply can't let people push you around or intimidate you.

As many of you know, a crazy LSU fan recently threatened to kill me because I prefer Caitlin Clark to the roster of Kim Mulkey's program in Baton Rouge.

For those of you haven't heard the racist and disturbing threat, you can listen below.

I released a statement shortly after the threat vowing to never back down, and I mean it. You'll find me dead before you find me running in fear. It sounds like Dana White feels the same way.

You simply don't get anywhere in life if you bend the knee to bullies. Now, should you call the police? If you feel it's necessary, but you definitely shouldn't tuck tail and run. You can't let bad guys win.

Props to Dana White for simply responding with "F*ck you" in the face of death threats. That's the vibe and energy we love to see. Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com if you agree.
