“People started giving a sh*t” – Dana White gives major reason for watching 2025 World Series despite disinterest in Dodgers and Blue Jays

UFC President Dana White isn’t a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Toronto Blue Jays. Therefore, the 2025 World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays didn’t pique his interest. However, White watched every second of Game 7. The UFC head honcho shared what changed to force him to watch the pivotal game during his appearance on the “Flagrant” podcast on Tuesday. “Let me tell you what I don’t give a sh*t about,” Dana White said [Timestamp 35: 23]. “The fu**ing Dodgers and the Blue Jays, okay. I could give a flying f*ck about any of that, who wins or whatever happens. Guess what happened? F*cking, they went 18 innings, Ohtani f*cking gets on base nine times.” 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) Unlock Free tips from our Experts Get Picks Now White said that he was in the Middle East for business matters before the World Series started. Upon his return, White and his friends’ interest in the World Series peaked, and they were invested in the game. “We watched every f*cking second of Game 7,” White added. “You know why? Cuz there was so much at stake, and so many big things happened, and so many stars and records that could be broken, and all these other things. And guess what? People started giving a sh*t.” White also pointed out that a sports fanbase can grow only when the matches have high stakes. In the UFC, White matchmakes accordingly, which he attributes to the reason for their growing fanbase. On the other hand, the 56-year-old said that baseball isn’t built for today’s day and age due to the long season. However, he praised the MLB for achieving massive viewership numbers in the World Series. Dana White was willing to pay millions for a rare Shohei Ohtani card Los Angeles Dodgers phenom Shohei Ohtani is one reason for the growth of MLB viewership in recent years. While Ohtani’s popularity is huge in the U. S., it’s massive in his native Japan. In 2024, Ohtani achieved the unique feat of hitting at least 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases in the regular season. His 50th home run ball fetched more than $4 million for a fan in the auction. UFC President Dana White also seems to be a fan of Ohtani. During a conversation with Nick Turturro, the UFC head honcho shared that he was willing to pay millions for an Ohtani trading card. “I’ve been trying to buy the Ohtani superfractor card,” Dana White said [Timestamp 3: 48]. I offered 4 million bucks for it. So we looked like we were going to get it and they won the World Series. The guy lost his mind and wants $10 million for the card now.. Yeah, I was nuts at $4 million.” Shohei Ohtani Superfractor cards are extremely rare. At $336,000, the 2018 Topps Chrome Sapphire Rookie Autograph Superfractor 1/1 holds the record for the most expensive public sale for an Ohtani card of this type.
