Dana White demands Peloton bikes be thrown out of UFC Performance Institute
UFC President Dana White was speaking with comedian Theo Von when the famed MMA boss made a bold statement.
According to White, all Peloton exercise bikes will be thrown out of the gym at the UFC Performance Institute. Von told the famed MMA boss that Peloton demanded he delete an episode of his podcast where he interviewed presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.
“So Peloton, what do they sell f****** stationary bikes?” White said during the podcast. “Peloton sells stationary bikes and they’ve got a problem with Robert f****** Kennedy? F*** you, Peloton. Who the f*** are they? Are you f****** kidding me? F****** Peloton calling and b****** about Robert Kennedy.”
White then unleashed on Barry McCarthy, CEO and founder of Peloton.
“Let’s see Barry McCarthy. Oh f****** Barry McCarthy looks like that guy, 100 percent. He looks like a douchebag.”
White then called UFC’s executive vice president of operations and productions into the room to tell him that all Peloton bikes had to be removed from the Performance Institute.
“Do we have Pelotons in the gym? Are those Pelotons? We’re getting rid of them,” White said. “We’re getting rid of the Pelotons. Pelotons are out of the gym. That’s what you do. You stop f****** using their products and f*** them.
“I’m not bulls******* you, you can film us. My guys are going to take the Pelotons out of the gym today. We’re getting rid of them. We’re going to go throw them in the f****** garbage today. We’re throwing the Pelotons in the garbage. We’re throwing them out of the UFC gym.”
