UFC President Dana White Rules Out Pride Night Events

UFC chief Dana White said the promotion will not stage Pride Night‑style events, emphasizing that the organization treats all fighters the same regardless of sexual orientation. In an interview with Tomi Lahren, White stated, “I don’t give a s—. I don’t care what you are or who you are or what you do, we don’t talk about that.” He noted that several top‑15 fighters are likely gay, including some openly gay female athletes, but the UFC will not hold identity‑themed celebrations, drawing a contrast with Major League Baseball’s approach.

White made the comments following recent controversy involving UFC fighter Josh Hokit’s inflammatory remarks about former First Lady Michelle Obama. While condemning the statement, White defended the fighter’s right to free speech and reiterated the UFC’s policy of private charitable support without public ceremonies.
