	I would like to stick on this topic of just men doing the right thing.
	I was just so proud of Neo.
	And then I saw this clip that was circulating of Dana White.
	Dana White, man, he is that CEO. If ever there was a CEO who gave zero craps about what the media was saying, like the media just cannot make Dana White, no matter what it is, COVID, he was still having fights, didn't care, wasn't putting any pressure on his fighters to get the vaccine while the NBA was Everyone get the vaccine.
	This is why I love the sport of UFC. People are like, why do you follow the UFC? Because it's still a real man's sport.
	It hasn't been corporatized.
	You don't see a bunch of them painting the ground with BLM. And Dana White allows the players to say what's on their minds.
	You know, my obsession with Dana White began when there was a fight coming up and it was Colby Covington.
	And Colby Covington was wearing the American flag and the person he was fighting was wearing a BLM flag.
	And they were talking trash to each other and complaining.
	Colby Covington said some stuff about BLM, and then the reporters came to Dana and were like, oh, you can't say that during the time of George Floyd.
	Dana was like, these fighters are about to bash each other in the octagon.
	I'm not telling them what to say.
	They can talk whatever trash they want.
	Well, recently, something similar happened.
	You're not going to believe the circumstances in which these reporters
	tried to race bait.
	So there was a South African fighter named Drikus Duplesis.
	Pardon me if I didn't get your name right.
	It might be Drikus Duplesis.
	South African white fighter, okay?
	And he was fighting against Israel Adesanya.
	He's a huge fighter in the UFC. Israel is black.
	Dreykus is white. And Dreykus basically said, I'm the real African, obviously, because he's actually from Africa.
	And Israel starts dropping the N-word to him about what they're about to fight.
	The media then tries to pressure Dana to condemn this because how could a black man be saying the N-word to a white guy?
	Yeah, kind of confusing.
	Take a listen to this clip. You know, I know you say, hey, this is the fight business.
	People say nasty things, right?
	But the tension between those two and kind of the racial undertones and all those things, how do you...
	What were the racial undertones?
	Trigger says he's the real African fighter, and so, you know, Israel dropped some N-word in there tonight.
	So what was the racial?
	Who did? Who dropped the racial?
	Israel was saying over and over, yeah.
	He's black. 50 N-bombs.
	Okay, he's black. He...
	Who gives a s**t? I was going to say, so you don't have any concern about the way the buildup, the tension between those two?
	I could care less.
	This is the fight business.
	There's a lot of sign you can say whatever you want to say.
	Who gives a st? Why, are people st about that?
	Some people. Of course they are.
	Oh, s**t. All right, got it.
	Yeah. Too s**t bad.
	All right. Yeah. I just love that man.
	I could care less.
	Who gives a s***?
	Too effing bad.
	You and your senseless feelings.
	We're going to condemn Israel the black guy because he's shit-talking the other person.
	He's about to go into the ring and they're going to try to kill each other in the octagon.
	You want me to say, oh, you know, you really can't say the end.
	I know it's in every single rap song.
	I know that you're a black guy and you come out to whatever music you want to come out to.
	But let me condemn you because this reporter wants to create a race scenario because he knows, If he can create something, then it'll get clicks in the mainstream media.
	No. Dana tells him to get out of his space, as Dana should.
	And there needs to be more examples of CEOs like this.
	CEOs who do not just go whichever way the media wind is blowing.
	It's so few.
	It doesn't exist. Dana White is amazing.
	One of them. Honestly, icon.
	Iconic response. If you've ever watched him in the media, he's always like this.
	He shuts them down immediately.
	He's like, let men be men.
	They're about to bash each other in the ring.
	Let them say whatever the heck they want.
	So I just wanted to show you guys that clip because we're on a roll here with feel-good clips, despite the fact that we started with a horribly racist black woman at the start of this show.
	All right, if you liked this video, you're going to like the full episode even better.
