- UFC President Dana White joins Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay for a comprehensive and entertaining conversation that spans the history and future of mixed martial arts, personal anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes stories.
Shannon kicks things off by reminiscing about his experience attending UFC 1. Dana then dives into his recent participation in "The Roast of Tom Brady," sharing what it was like to perform in front of 12,000 people, his unique relationship with Tom Brady, and the process of crafting his jokes, including calling comedian Bill Burr for advice. Dana gives credit to Drew Bledsoe and Shannon takes a light-hearted jab at Kim Kardashian, to which Dana offers his own praise. He concludes with high praise for Tom Brady, calling him a savage.
Dana then dives into his upbringing with a single mom who worked as a nurse, growing up in a lower-middle-class environment, and moving from Boston in the fifth grade with a thick accent. He shares his lifelong love for fighting, dropping out of college after less than a semester, and the reasons why college didn't suit him. Dana recounts being run out of Boston due to FBI investigations involving Whitey Bulger, fleeing to Las Vegas, and how that move turned out to be fortuitous.
The conversation also covers the UFC's groundbreaking move to Spike TV, financing the first season independently, and the emphasis on live event experiences over TV broadcasts. Dana explains how he convinced Joe Rogan to become a commentator after seeing him on the Keenen Ivory Wayans show and an interview where Joe expressed his passion for fighting.
Dana discusses the situation with Francis Ngannou, stating he has no regrets about how things played out. He affirms that the UFC did everything possible to make the Jon Jones vs Ngannou fight happen, emphasizing that Jones isn't afraid of Ngannou and is the baddest fighter of all time. Dana believes Jones would defeat Ngannou just as he did Ciryl Gane and elaborates on Jones's status as the baddest human in fighting sports history, a potential fight with Stipe Miocic, and what makes Jones so formidable-a true "killer" with a dark side.
On the financial side, Dana addresses the ongoing debate about fighter pay, asserting that fighters are earning more and that many quotes on the subject come from reporters who lack understanding of the business. He also reflects on the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather bout, highlighting issues within boxing’s economics. Discussing potential matchups like Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, Dana insists Tyson, at 58, shouldn't be fighting.
He recounts getting The Rock into social media and shares the success of Power Slap, an endeavor that gained massive followers quickly. Dana envisions celebrities participating and even invites Shannon to join.
In a fun segment, Dana speculates on which athletes from various sports would make great UFC fighters, naming Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Shaq, and others. Dana's love for gambling comes to the fore as he talks about his nightly blackjack sessions, his venture into baccarat, and his strategy of betting as much as possible, even impacting a casino's quarterly report.
Join Shannon Sharpe and Dana White for a riveting episode filled with honesty, insider stories, and the unfiltered insights of one of the most influential figures in sports today. Whether you're a die-hard UFC fan or simply enjoy candid conversations, this episode of Club Shay Shay is essential listening.

Dana White is a stand-up man for giving Joe Rogan his credit
The guests are only getting bigger. Club Shay Shay is here to stay stay
It’s too bad Dana beats his wife
Discount interview
Duh
Bigger?
He has interviewed more famous people than Dana, but I will say that the demographic is expanding, which is great.
One of the best interviews for a person who knew nothing about UFC. Unc is killing it. Great change of pace!
Knew nothing? He was at the first event. He knew something lol
@@FallennovaI think they could be referring to the audience
Shannon is great interviewer and he must have a great team behind him .
People underestimate Unc. He is the hardest working man in the media
@@FallennovaI was about to say the same thing!
"He's Dana White..... not Joe Rogan!" 🤣🤣 Uncle Shay and Uncle Dana together...... this was epic!! ✌️
Yall like calling people yall family 😂😂😂
Dana on club shayshay today is a good day

Downgrade
@@zippymistletoe1272 U don't watch UFC? What are u some kinda poosy
@@zippymistletoe1272brainrot hate for attention
Absolutely
Unc is a marketing genius by getting Dana white puts a whole different set of eyes on his platform 👏
The next thing to watch is, what does he do next to keep those eyes tuned for his next episode.
What?? I listen to Shannon everyday either on Shay Shay or Nightcap and I'm a Caucasian Sicilian woman
Sure if you're some low life that only knows how to fight and act aggressively.
@ZoongoZang stop it. We all enjoying success these days. You live in the greatest time to be alive. Stfu....
@ZoongoZangWhat does race have to do with this? It’s an interview. Stop.
Bruh , literally the instant Dana mentions De La Hoya I start laughing cuz I already know 😂😂😂
I was expecting him to say “De La Cokehead” 💀
Me too!!
@theagency7576 if I ever need a quick laugh I just look up Dana roasting Oscar highlight videos😂
Oscar De La Weirdo
Lmao whenever Dana talks about De La Hoya or Bob Arum he just can't help but go scorched earth on em every time 🤣 Dana's not wrong about either one of em tho...... they're 🐍 for sure!!!
My favorite interview so far from Shannon. He had Dana White so comfortable and Dana is an alpha. A boss.
I agree excet at 1:08:30 the Donald Trump maneuver around the question and facts.
People underestimate Unc. He is such a smart guy
@@gis3820 lmao you describe Joe Biden but used trumps name ....
@@KAG1776funny joke
@@gis3820Oh here we go. You 🐑
Why are people making this a race issue ? There are millions of people of color who enjoys ufc !!
Liberals angry
Love the UFC
This is the first white guest on this show so…
@@michaelbuettner1487 No Gary Owen
@@michaelbuettner1487 Y'all have fully converted Gary Owen?
I'm trying to see Shay Shay vs Skip in a Power Slap flight 🤣🔥
Aye
They don't put pre-arranged murders on TV bro
Shay Shay going to jail 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
Skip would get his head knocked off
Very cool. Dana doesn't just talk to anyone and neither does Shannon. Respect.
Unc literally talks to everybody 🤣
Bill Burr, Joe Rogan, Dana White. Truly a deadly combo
Bald power
I literally don’t see anyone complaining about the guest only ppl complaining about people complaining 😂
Same 😅
Probably deleted comments
Right! I'm scrolling through searching for it too lol
Africans try n stir up America politics 🤷🏾♂️
I was just about to say this 😂😂😂
I work at the vip entrance of caesars palace. Dana white is a regular guest. He's a really down to earth guy. He speaks to everyone, everytime. He initiates conversation with "regular" people. Most celebrities are not like this at all
I used to work at the four seasons Orlando and he would give out $100-500 tips to anybody who did even the smallest thing for him in the hotel.
WORD!!!!💪💪
🧢 🧢
Dana is banned from caesers what are you talking about
@@matthewthomas1213no he’s not
Nice to see Shay bringing in people like Dana to expand his audience
I loved this interview and Unc has legit questions that are more intriguing than most other podcast. Great interview and keep killing it Shannon!
Next thing you know, Ocho will be saying he's going to enter Power Slapping😂😂
Let Chad tell it he was the first one to do it
I agree with both of you! 🤣🤣🤣

Ain't no stopping Shay Shay‼️‼️‼️‼️

UNC!!! Really really really loved and appreciate this interview. Powerful talk! Lots of gems! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Us fight fans watchin this interview like its a normal post fight press conference.
"This is Dana White , not Joe Rogan" haha that was a nice callback to danas last interview xD
The Same...
And He will be on Next🤨
I have mixed them up before
Brah she was so confident when she said it 😂
It ain't going to get no bigger than that Katt Williams
That joke about kim fitting right in that crowd was top tier 😂
Listening to this driving from Fresno to Los Angeles. Thank you so much. one love to all the listeners.
Only 45 minutes in and this is a killer interview! Great questions Big Shannon!
Hate him or love him, you gotta admit Dana White is successful and entertaining af. One of my fav episodes for sure.
How you can hate him??
True
If you are still wearing a covid mask you are 100% guaranteed to hate Dana
All the ppl who hate him don't even know him in reality and it just shows their ignorance.
@@tomasss111his politics on display
Hold up is Unc’s demographic mad that he interviewed a white dude? 😂😂
Just salty people with a victim complex who don’t want to see people succeed
I'm scratching my head looking for them
What's victim complexe@@shaheena.3803
@geronimopratt7976 me too. I see. I'm looking for theses comments everyone is referring to
Nah , certain immature viewers are attracted to conflict ,gossip,and infighting. It makes their lives seem less dysfunctional.
Steve-o is immediately the first celebrity I can see doing powerSlap
I don’t know anything about UFC, obviously have heard about Dana White but I’m absolutely fascinated by this interview. Dana is a great guest and so entertaining and authentic to watch!
The interview we didn't expect but definitely APPRECIATED!!
Probably hands down one of the best podcast Dana’s done. Shay ask some good questions.
This was Gold! Very organic and fun to watch! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beyond the great interview I'm so impressed with the line of questioning and the follow up questions are amazing
Get Allen Iverson, Jon Jones and Dave Chappelle next!!! We need that!
That would be great: Dana, JJ then Miles Bridges and Lance Stephenson... The Wifes beater tour.
I think he already had Allen iverson on
Bro dont got that kinda motion
@@TrustNoThotswhy he don’t he in the same industry you not to bright are you 🙄
@@bestrong8543"why he don't" not very bright are you.
There is nothing like going to a LIVE UFC event. Nothing even close.
cant wait to attend one day
I’m waiting for UFC to come back to Phoenix. I’ll have to go to international fight week if it doesn’t happen soon
Its wild
I've been to all four that took place in Missouri. Great shows, always
I disagree.
This was big Shannon. Dana White is a pretty big sports figure
Man shay is killing it with his knowledge and question format. Real professional. 🔥
Not going to lie, I would never thought that Dana White would come to Club Shay Shay. Shannon is taking over the podcast space. He is giving Joe Rogan a run for his money.
Not quite Rogan yet but he in the convo. Rogan, Shay, and Pat Mcafee are the tops
😮That shows you the level that Shannon has reached. The sky is the limit after Katt Williams
Why would that shock you? Huge personalities talking to each other
Pat mcafee ain’t on this level. He isn’t a podcast.
Good, not a fan of Ro-gain 😂
I see all the comments getting mad at ppl for not enjoying the episode but I don’t see any comments hating lol. S/o Dana legendary interview
Right!!!? That’s what has me scratching my head too, I haven’t seen a single negative comment. Must be bots 🤖
Facts like that’s so weird! I keep scrolling looking for what they’re talking about 😂
Yea I've been looking for a single negative comment
I saw some the minute I clicked...
Fax. I don't see any hate. Just weirdos saying stop hating.
Shannon absolutely murdering, Dana is an amazing guest.
Dana is the goat! He gives us the fights you want to see and he is straight forward and tell you how it is.
This man got Dana White. Congratulations brother 🎉
lol all dana does is interviews… I’ll be impressed if he get Oprah, whoopie, will smith, Ellen, trump, Michael Jordan…. People that do many interviews. lol
Time to get a real job brother
Rhianna, Beyoncé, Russell Simmons, Richard Simmons….
Ben Affleck, Sasha Obama, Wendy Willam’s, frank ocean
Johnny depp, Shia lebeouf, north west, Kate Middleton
You can still have difrent opinions and still get along that’s how this country should be love this interview
Why didnt shannon ask him about the domestic violence?

He literally had the exact exact exact interview with Andrew Shultz less then two weeks ago
The way shay shay slaps it. 2nd to none mate. My man's style love it.. n boy his introduction n getting close to ppl is 2nd to none. Man. Love the interviews with. Kat n Dana. Shay shay. My man. I thank u from the bottom of my heart
People really in these youtube comments saying they not finna watch like we give any 💩s is hilarious 😭😭
😂😂
Agreed 😂😂
He got Dana white that's a W 🤣they goofy AF💯
And yet commenting on certain parts 😂
I can’t stand ppl always complaining and crying. The times we live in is sad af
Dana White's work ethic is second to none. This man shows how it is and what it takes to grind for sucess.
You have to respect it. He is the best at what he does in the business.
So does S. S. 🔥🔥
Did not think I would watch the whole thing going in but before I knew it I was super engaged in the convo. Another banger Uncle Shay.
Amazing interview!!
I appreciate Shannon having Dana on Club Shay Shay. Its nice to see. We need more of it.
Great episode, learned a lot.
Quality of the show is consistent. Dana is a dope dude
You have to EMBRACE the Process, the Struggle, the Discomfort, the Glows, & the Grows. You do NOT Grow in your Comfort Zone; you Grow in Discomfort. People love the Results, but hate/dislike the Process. You have to Indulge in the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
🙏🏾 Amen, facts.‼️‼️‼️‼️
God this is corny. Conceive, believe, achieve.
So profound 😂
Great interview. Dana White is unapologetically himself. I loved it
Shout out Dana, can't cancel this man... He even came back after puttin the beats on his wife
Do people of his color ever get cancelled?
This was a great conversation!!! Thank you unc and Dana
Uncle Shay and Uncle D link up!! Never saw this comin. So glad it’s here tho!!!
Some of yall complaining about Dana being a guest!
You should go start a podcast and invite your favorite celebrities and athletes 🤡
Idk how anybody could be mad at this instead of just being happy for unc. Dana white is a huge guest to get on a podcast that is pretty new.
Those comments must be further down
Fax!! Those just his ignore racist fans from the wood wok coming out
Only ppl I see complaining are trumpktards 😆 ...just like when he lost
You sound stupid and without morals 😤👎
I really enjoyed the interview!! 😊
I love the energy on this show, its fun because there just chillin and having some drinks.
Love ufc and love Shannon sharpe = must watch
Dana white in club Shay Shay 🤯 yeah I ain’t doing nothing the rest of the day at work. 🎧
Tell us you don’t have a job without telling us you don’t have a job lol. It’s barely a 2 hour podcast. Does that take up the rest of your work day?

I watch a lot of interviews of Dana but this one knocked it out of the park. So organic, fast paced, great questions. I'm subscribing to this channel. Great work.
Man Dana and Shay Shay vibin. I liked this.
I always love listening to the shay shay podcast
Dana white basically said “if you know me and my wife then you know we been doing that off camera too” 😂😂😂😂 I respect the honesty man
?
I took it more as the people that know him know that don't usually happen
You respect a man who slapped the dogshit out of his wife? That says a lot about you.
I took it the same way… some people like toxicity. As long as it’s mutual.. I guess let them be happy
that's literally the opposite of what he said
Many gems dropped in this one. Take what you want from it. Dana White is a boss of bosses.
I love that he’s unapologetically him. Great interview!!
Shannon Sharpe is a lot smarter than I thought he was. He is always prepared. Dana White was great.
It took till he got Dana white for you too see that Shannon is smart and always prepared 🧐🤔 Very Telling

This is a great episode!!
Good to see Shannon getting it done, his show is legit.
Man I’m a giant UFC fan and a giant fan of Dana and his story. I’ve heard it told by him the same way a million times on every podcast he’s ever done, and I still love it. Shows timing is everything. There needs to be a real, non biased Dana White documentary from childhood struggle to his early relationship with trump all the way to Abu Dhabi connect and today’s events.
I love Shannon for doing this interview
Man he got Dana White on that show he’s super big time fr
Another entertaining interview way to go, Shayshay
One of the best episodes put out right here
