‘Hell no!’: UFC’s Dana White tells ’60 Minutes’ there’s no such thing as being ‘too masculine’

UFC President Dana White told “60 Minutes” correspondent Jon Wertheim on Sunday that masculinity isn’t problematic.

White told Wertheim that the UFC fan base tended to be 18 to 34 year-old men, but was expanding globally. When the UFC president added that his company was “definitely unapologetically masculine,” Wertheim asked if that posed a risk and mentioned “toxic masculinity,” prompting White to laugh in his face and ask what the term meant.

“You tell me,” Wertheim said.

“No, you just said it! What’s the definition of toxic?” White asked. “How can somebody be too masculine? Is that a possibility? Can you be too masculine?”

Wertheim again declined to answer, pushing White to answer his own questions.

“No! The answer is hell no!” White said.

White is a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, who won the male vote in all three of his election campaigns by 8% or more. He achieved his largest margin with the demographic — 12% — in 2024 against former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the Center for American Women and Politics.

Democratic strategist James Carville explained on “The Tara Palmeri Show” in April that men loathe his party because Democrats appear condescending toward men.

“I think the Democratic Party has what I would call an NPR problem. You know, don’t eat hamburgers, don’t watch football, don’t drink beer,” Carville said. “It’s all bad for you. Like god damn, man, you know, get off my ass for a minute! And I think it’s something like that. I think Democrats come across as like culturally superior, ‘we know what’s good for you.’”

Trump told supporters in July that he intended to host a UFC fight card on the White House grounds as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration in 2026. White said on “Special Report with Bret Baier” on Sept. 19 that the event would feature a festival-style atmosphere, with live bands, outdoor seating, giant screens and fans sprawled across the South Lawn.

“We’re literally going to take over Washington, D.C. that week. We’re going to do the weigh-ins there,” White said. “We’re going to have the weigh-in events. And we’ll have fan events all week. We’re going to do our expo there and just a total Washington, D.C. takeover.”
