UFC CEO Dana White once again confirmed that he is not a fan of football.

“Fifteen years ago, I said that football is the most talentless sport. I don't remember how the conversation started, but I then said, 'There's a reason why three-year-old kids play it. When the goal is the size of a wall, your score is 1:1.' It's better to talk about hockey, although I'm not a big fan of that either. But there, guys are racing at a hundred miles an hour, the goal is the size of the person standing in it, and you can literally get knocked out every second. Listen, I love Cristiano Ronaldo, I have a great relationship with him, but with all respect to these guys, I'm just not a fan of football,” White said in an interview with Big Boy TV.
