Dana White once named the three scariest UFC fighters including a 'stone-cold f**king killer'.
UFC CEO White has worked with a plethora of MMA fighters during his distinguished career in the sport.
And during a sit-down interview with UFC star Paddy Pimblett, he named the three scariest UFC fighters.

He began with UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis and highlighted his sense of humour..
"Always when you’re f**king around with the heavyweights - Derrick Lewis," he said on Pimblett's YouTube channel.
"When Derrick Lewis comes to a stare-down the only thing that makes him even a little bit not scary is that he actually has a sense of humour.
"He’s funny sometimes, but God forbid you get in there with Derek Lewis and he doesn’t like the other fighter."
White added: "I was in-between him and another guy one time at the face-off and it was just like, I might as well not f**king be there. If these guys want to do something they’re going to throw me into the third row and there’s not a f**king thing I can do about it.
"Derrick Lewis when you touch him, he’s one of the most powerful dudes that I’ve ever been in there with on a face-off. I can’t remember who the other guy was but they were both trying to get in each other’s face and I tried to stop it and I was like, ‘This is f**king unbelievable how powerful these two are."
White then named current UFC champions Jon Jones and Alex Pereira.
He called Jones a 'freak of nature', with 'Bones' capturing the UFC heavyweight title following his impressive body of work in the UFC light-heavyweight division.
As for Pereira, he's made a big splash since transitioning to MMA from kick-boxing, becoming a two-weight UFC champion.
"Jon Jones was definitely one of those guys too. Jon Jones is a f**king freak of nature, but one of the scariest, most intimidating dudes out there right now is Pereira," the UFC boss added.
"If you look at the guy he looks like a stone-cold f**king killer."
