Speaking to reporters about the World Cup, UFC boss Dana White said: "Soccer? Whole other ball game. I can't stand soccer, I think that it's the least talented sport on earth. You run around a kick a ball.
"Dude, I say this in every country where you're playing a game where the net is this big, right, and the score is three to one. When you're playing a game where the net is this big right, and the score is 3–1, are you s***ting me right now?.
"Now in hockey, you have guys on skates, right? With crooked sticks, where they have to hit a puck into a net that's the same size as a goalie, ok? That's a sport where the score should be 3–1."
Dana can while all he wants but 'soccer' continues to grow in popularity all around the United States of America. The USMNT averaged 12.2 million viewers on FOX during their 2022 World Cup run.
