UFC President Dana White is an opinionated person who often speaks his mind. Fans admired White for the way he led the UFC and made it popular among the masses. And like any corporate promoter, White is very committed to the UFC and will defend it endlessly. At times, White can even be very fiery when it comes to talking about his promotion. In 2021, White came out with a tongue-in-cheek response after a famous TikToker mocked the UFC logo and redesigned it with WWE legend Dwayne Johnson.

Dana White responded to Zugay’s overhaul in a sweet but wild manner, sarcasm seeping from his words.
White responded to Zugay with Dwayne Johnson in UFC logo
Dana White is known for making witty and fiery remarks from time to time. The UFC president rarely hides his displeasure over things he doesn’t like. This was once again the case when TikToker Emily Zugay redesigned the UFC logo and placed Dwayne Johnson at the center of it.
Zugay is popular on TikTok for hilariously redesigning some iconic logos from famous brands. Last year, she posted a video in which she mocked the UFC logo and redesigned it in her usual fashion. Not only that, she also shared some tips for promotion.
DIVE DEEPER
In the video, Zugay said, “I had to google it because I didn’t know it. It stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Why did you make your F like that? I hate this angle. I felt a bit disconnected, so I wanted to attach a face to the logo (Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson). And I know he’s one of the best of all time. So I think it will bring you a little more business. This font is also much more aggressive”

Dana White then immediately responded to this new logo and Zugay’s comments. He made a subtle but hilarious dig into Emily Zugay’s lack of knowledge about the UFC and indulged in banter. White replied sarcastically, “Emily, I think you are correct in your assessment of our logo. And obviously you’ve done your homework and you know exactly what you’re talking about. You are highly educated in mixed martial arts. Good work!”
Additionally, the UFC also later used Zugay’s design as their official TikTok account profile picture.

It showed the humorous side of Dana White and gave the impression that he could be rough without being offensive to anyone. And despite not fighting in the octagon, it was a knockout victory for the UFC president.
