‘Hell No!’: UFC Prez Tells ’60 Minutes’ There’s No Such Thing As Being ‘Too Masculine’

For an episode that aired on Sunday evening, UFC President Dana White told CBS’s “60 Minutes” that in his mind, there was no such thing as being “too masculine.”

White, who spoke at the Republican National Conventions in 2016 and 2024 and supported President Donald Trump through three campaigns, spoke with correspondent Jon Wertheim about the concept of “toxic masculinity” and whether or not the culture was shifting around that idea.

Wertheim began by quoting a term he said White had used in the past, saying that he’d decried the “wussification of America” — and White suggested that the word he’d used had actually begun with a different letter, but that he understood why that might be censored for broadcast television.

White went on to say that the reason the UFC was so successful — and growing — was that they knew their audience and were “unapologetically masculine.”

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

“Haha what’s that mean?” White laughed as he interrupted Wertheim.

“You tell me,” Wertheim challenged.

“You just said it,” White pushed back. “What’s the definition of ‘toxic’? … How can somebody be too masculine? Can you be too masculine?”

“You tell me,” Wertheim repeated. “Do you think so?”

“No. The answer is hell no,” White declared.

The UFC is expected to hold an event at the White House in 2026 as part of America’s 250th birthday festivities — an event that both Trump and White have independently confirmed.

“We’re literally going to take over Washington, D.C., that week. We’re going to do the weigh-ins there. 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,” White said of the planned event.
