Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White defended the UFC’s "unapologetically masculine" attitude on "60 Minutes" Sunday night.

Correspondent Jon Wertheim spoke with White about the UFC’s rise, particularly among young men. Wertheim pointed to White’s past criticism of the "wussification" of America and asked if attitudes had shifted. White said he believes they have.

"We are definitely unapologetically masculine," White said.

"Can this bubble over too much?" Wertheim asked. "When you hear toxic masculinity, what do you–"

"What’s that mean?" White interrupted, laughing. "What’s the definition of ‘toxic’? … How can somebody be too masculine? Can you be too masculine?"

After some back and forth, White finally answered.

"No. The answer is hell no," White said.

White also emphasized his support for free speech and opposition to cancel culture, condemning people losing jobs over controversial online posts.

"I think you’re a disgusting human being if you’re celebrating the death of another human being, but people make mistakes and people are gonna do dumb things," White said. "I don’t like trying to destroy people’s lives over doing something dumb."

White recently confirmed plans with former President Donald Trump to host a UFC event at the White House in 2026 to mark America’s 250th birthday.

***the “wussification” of America****
I remember when THAT STARTED! When Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a PALESTINIAN IMMIGRANT in 1968, masculinity in boys was one of many things blamed for the “violence” in the US at that time. So someone suggested giving boys drugs in school to calm them down and make them “less masculine and more feminine.”

Glad I graduated in 1964.

And don’t teach ‘em to read, or if you do, (so they can read the recipes), at least control what they read. And they shouldn’t be allowed to own anything or have their own credit. Hell, they should depend on someone else for their whole life. That would make them listen up.
