Netflix’s ‘Greatest Roasts of All Time: Tom Brady’ marked a significant moment not just in NFL history, but in the broader sports realm. Bringing together key figures from the New England Patriots dynasty and other notable personalities, including UFC CEO Dana White, the event was ripe for comedic jabs. Comedian Jeff Ross seized the opportunity to poke fun at White, eliciting uproarious laughter from the live audience.
Addressing White, Ross quipped, “Look at this, talk about a legend in the room. Pull back I want to see if he brought the whole cast of queer eye. Dana, who are these guys? Are these guys neutered? What the f*** is going on? I love you, Dana, you’re like Michael Vick, but with human beings.” Despite the ribbing, White, along with UFC fighters Sean O’Malley and Max Holloway, took it in stride, joining in the laughter.
However, White wasn’t just there to be roasted; he also took the opportunity to deliver his own comedic punchlines. Expressing dissatisfaction with his limited screen time on Netflix, he humorously exclaimed, “You guys gave me 60 seconds? My name is Dana!” He then praised O’Malley and Holloway as the ‘baddest dudes in the world’ before playfully jabbing back at Ross.
“One more thing. You people probably don’t know this, but Jeff Ross was very interested in the UFC. He thought it meant Unlimited Fried Chicken!” White quipped, igniting further laughter from the audience. Despite the brevity of his appearance, White’s presence added to the event’s success, uniting fans of the Patriots, NFL, and sports enthusiasts in a memorable evening of comedy.
