Dana White packs football card worth $10k and his reaction is priceless after controversial views on the sport

Dana White got extremely lucky.

Dana White gave a priceless reaction to getting a £10,000 special edition Neymar Jr signature trading card.

The UFC boss was filmed opening the Topps trading cards when he miraculously pulled the Brazilian attacker.

This comes as the UFC has re-established its deal with the trading card brand for the first time since 2020.

White's Neymar Jr card is valued so highly as not only does it contain an autograph from the footballing icon, but also a piece of one of his match-worn PSG shirts.

"Get the f**k out of here, I don't know a lot about f***ing soccer, bro I don't know soccer," White shouted while opening the card.

"You know me this ain't f***ing rigged at all, I wasn't even going to open it.

"It's that Neymar guy, no way I know who that guy is. How much is this card worth?" White asked.

The UFC boss was quickly informed the card was worth around $10,000, and he was very pleased with his pull.

White's excitement over football (not soccer) may be hard to believe given his previous comments on the topic.

Speaking on a podcast, White claimed the sport is the least talented sport in the world.

"I can’t stand soccer," he said. "I think that it’s the least talented sport on earth. There’s a reason three-year-olds can play soccer ok? You run around and kick a ball.

"When you’re playing a game where the net is this big right, and the score is 3-1, are you s***ing me right now?

"Do you know how untalented you have to be to score three points when the net is this big?" White added.

As expected the 55-year-old's comments didn't go down too well, but even his fellow Americans weren't impressed with US internet personality Mike Majlak claiming it was 'the dumbest thing' he'd ever heard on ImPaulsive.

Since the viral video White has announced he will be giving the Neymar card away along with a $15,000 Paul Skenes card.
