UFC CEO Dana White has a great relationship with Saudi Delegate Turki Alalshikh. He has even played a major part in the success of UFC in Saudi Arabia. Recently, Alalshikh met White, and they were seen having a conversation while holding hands. Interestingly, following that instance, people in the community dragged the UFC CEO into banter about sugar daddies.
Dana White recently appeared on the Full Send Podcast with Bob Menery and Bradley Martyn. During the podcast, they had a few intriguing topics. One such was Menery dissing White’s Power Slap. While White talked about that, he revealed meeting Alalshikh last night and discussed the UFC Noche card. Menery jumped in between and reminded everyone of the viral video.
Come here daddy, come here… So, Dana always talk about sugar daddy. When I saw that I was drooling at the mouth… Dana is so thrown off guard… He (Turki Alalshikh) takes Dana s arm and kinda guides him to somewhere, like three steps, and then that s that! So, I just see that and I’m like, ‘We got him! We got him, Dana! Sit him in the laboratory’ But now then I made the sugar daddy reference. I said, ‘Mr. White sugar daddy.’

Interestingly, White often goes off on Menery, accusing him of having sugar daddies. However, this time, the podcaster got his chance to troll the UFC CEO on such jokes. White and Alalshikh’s bond became formidable since their announcement of partnering up for the grand UFC Noche card.
Not only that, on several occasions, Alalshikh backed the UFC CEO against high-profile competitors. Most recently, against Canelo Alvarez as both White and the Mexican boxer are set to clash against each other on September 14. Interestingly, apart from that hand-holding aspect, there was another noticeable thing in the video.
