UFC fans have called out Dana White for his behaviour during a livestream with internet personality Nina Drama.
In recent years, influencer Nina Drama, real name Nina-Marie Daniele, has become one of the biggest names covering the UFC.
The former model has enjoyed massive popularity thanks to her comedic approach to interviewing fighters and to the access she has been able to get to some of the top fighters in the MMA organisation.
During her time covering the sport, the 37-year-old has also enjoyed a close relationship with UFC President and CEO White, 56, frequently filming videos with him for social media.

The pair recently appeared on a livestream with American streamer Adin Ross, and things suddenly got a bit weird when the UFC boss started talking about Daniele's feet.
As she approached the cameras to sit down, White looked down and exclaimed: "Uh oh, sheâs got her feet out gang!â
The trio all laughed at the moment, as Daniele showed off her feet on camera, but it was an undeniably awkward moment as White continued to stare at the influencer's feet.
"Are you still looking at my feet," she asked while laughing.
Although the moment appeared to be mostly light-hearted, UFC fans couldn't help but feel that it was strange behaviour from White, and they made sure to make their feelings known on social media.
Reacting to the clip, one fan on X wrote: "The way he locked in on her feet like it was cinema is crazy."
While a frustrated fan claimed: "The type of s*** dana doing as opposed to making good fights."
And another added: "This is the state of our sport we deserve the worst in life."
The UFC boss later got frustrated at viewers in Ross' livestream chat writing negative comments about Danielle, calling her annoying.
"What did she do since she walked here to annoy you? Shut up," he said.
"If she's annoying now, imagine if we get her drunk."
Along with White and US President Donald Trump, Daniele is expected to be cageside for UFC 327 this week as former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka looks to regain his title in a bout against New Zealand's Carlos Ulberg.
