Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White spoke on comedian Theo Von’s "This Past Weekend" podcast about being willing to tell off a sponsor when he was scolded for posting about former President Trump.

"I posted a video for Trump, on my personal social media, and one of our big sponsors called and said, ‘Take that down.’ You know what I said? ‘Go f--- yourself,’" White told Von. "You vote for whoever you want to vote for, and I’ll vote for whoever I want to vote for. That’s how this works. I don’t even care who you’re voting for. It’s none of my f------ business. F--- you. Don’t ever f------ call me and tell me who to vote for."

"A lot of people feeling in fear these days, you know? A lot of people feeling in fear that if they don’t vote for certain people, they’re going to lose their jobs," Von responded.

"Think about how f------ crazy that is," White said, later arguing, "It will keep happening unless more people stand up for themselves and give them the ‘F--- you’ response."
