Criticism won’t deter Dana White from using artificial intelligence for Ultimate Fighting Championship promotional material.

Dana White isn't backing down from the future of fight promotion—even if it means ruffling a few feathers. The UFC CEO has doubled down on using artificial intelligence to create promotional content, most recently for the upcoming UFC White House: Freedom 250 event.

In a candid conversation on the Katie Miller Podcast, White revealed that the entire promo—including his own voiceover—was generated by AI. "The whole promo is AI, even my voice isn't my real voice," White said. "My guys put together the whole promo for the White House without one guy going into the sound booth; filming or anything. The only thing that’s real is the fight footage. It’s not the future, it’s now. It’s already happening."

While the UFC has faced backlash from both fans and fighters over the decision, White remains unfazed. UFC lightweight Renato "Money" Moicano publicly called the AI-driven content "brain rot," but White had a characteristically blunt response when asked about the criticism at a recent press conference: "Who gives a s***?... Shut the f*** up and watch the fights."

For fans of fight gear and MMA culture, this shift signals a new era in how promotions are made—streamlined, cost-effective, and undeniably modern. Whether you love it or hate it, AI is stepping into the octagon, and Dana White is leading the charge.
