Dana White has described the simmering feud between Henry Cejudo and Valentina Shevchenko as "f***ing crazy".

Cejudo and Shevchenko have been going back-and-forth on social media ever since the UFC double champion bizarrely called her out.

He proposed an intergender UFC championship bout following her dominant showing at UFC Uruguay.

The UFC president has now weighed in on Cejudo vs. Shevchenko and he hasn't held back when giving his honest views.

"That's the wackiest sh*t I've ever heard in my life," he said. "It's just f***ing crazy that he would even say that. But Valentina would probably do it. I don't even know how to respond to that or what to say other than 'Wow.'"

White was then pressed for a prediction, he said: "F**k, I don't know. I can't even f***ing wrap my brain around that, why he would say that. It's just crazy, but what are you gonna do?"

Cejudo laid down a challenge to Shevchenko with a video message on Monday.

"So, I am out here enjoying my beautiful Sunday here in beautiful Las Vegas," he said, addressing the camera.

"But my phone just keeps blowing up that somebody by the name of Valentina 'The Bullet' Shevchenko is the most dominant champion in the world. And guess what? I get a little jelly, because you know what she has gold and I want that gold!

"Valentina Shevchenko, I have a message for you. I am looking to become the first intergender world champion that this world has ever seen. I'm calling you out. You can be the next to bend the knee to 'Triple C'."

The women's flyweight world champion responded to his call-out on social media.

Cejudo then hit back: "I'll be there right after I finish polishing my gold medal and belts," he said before posting another tweet directed at the Kyrgyzstan fighter.

Bookmakers have released odds for the extremely hypothetical match, pricing Cejudo as an 11-1 favorite over Shevchenko.
