UFC president Dana White stormed off a podcast just 30 seconds in, leaving the host completely stunned.

White was on the 164th episode of 'Howie Mandel Does Stuff' but his appearance was a brief as can be.

After introducing him, host Howie Mandel proceeded to shower White with praise about his achievements.

He said: "Dana White, you are not only an amazing businessman, you are an inspiration, a philosopher - the way you do conduct your business, friendships and media.

"I'm jealous and I can't thank you enough for being here."

In response, White said he was grateful for the comments but then immediately pivoted to talk about his disdain of podcasts.

The 54-year-old claimed he will not be doing any more going forward, stating: "Thank you for all the kind words, I appreciate it. I am so f***ing tired of doing podcasts. I'm literally done with them, I'm not doing any more podcasts."

After saying his piece, White pushed the microphone away and then quickly removed his headphones before walking off.

Mandel, guest Ginger Billy and his co-host and daughter Jackelyn Shultz in the studio were stunned into silence as White exited.

He did not return for the rest of the episode, with the video uploaded onto YouTube stating, 'Dana White leaves us shocked'.

The accompanying description also contained information on White, with the section reading: "Dana Frederick White Jr. is an American businessman who is CEO and president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, a global mixed martial arts organization. He is also the owner of Power Slap, a slap fighting promotion. In August 2019, White's net worth was estimated at $500 million."

White's premature departure was not addressed and instead Ginger Billy became the focus of the podcast.

Fans have been split as to whether the storm off was legitimate, with plenty of confusion caused.

White has been on podcasts before, namely Logan Paul's 'IMPAULSIVE" and the NELK Boys' 'Full Send'.
