UFC CEO Dana White promised to rid the premises of all Peloton exercise equipment after the fitness company, who previously sponsored Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast, blocked the controversial comedian from hosting an episode with political guest Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The deed is done.
“So people were hitting me up, asking me if I really got rid of the Pelotons,” White said on Instagram. “What did I tell ya? Pelotons are gone!”
White elaborated on his stance during a conversation with “Bussin’ With The Boys” and took shots at Peloton CEO Barry McCarthy.
“His podcast has to come down? You sell stationary bikes for a f—king living! You are a f—king clown!” White said. “There is something mentally f—king unstable about you, that you have the balls to pick up the phone and call somebody and tell them to take another person’s podcast down. Wrap your head around that. Do you know what an absolute f—king pompous, arrogant … I don’t even have the rest of the words for this f—king guy. It’s f—king mind-boggling to me, that you could be that arrogant.”
White is fortunate enough to be in a position to pick and choose sponsors that align with his “core values.” That’s why UFC welcomed Bud Light back to the Octagon with open arms, despite some of the criticism the beer giant faced over the past year for one of its incendiary ad campaigns.
In short, no more banana hammocks in 2024 (and beyond).
