Dana White's Unconventional Welcome to the Tate Brothers
MMA mogul Dana White extends invitation to Andrew Tate and his sibling in their visit to Las Vegas.
Dana White, the boss of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), was caught on camera last week, rubbing shoulders with Andrew and Tristan Tate at a Power Slap event in Las Vegas. The controversial duo has been embroiled in allegations of human trafficking and related transgressions in the US, UK, and Romania.
A Controversial Embrace
Despite the severe accusations, the brothers were allowed to fly to Florida, USA, following a recent decision by Romanian prosecutors. Recently, they made an appearance at the Power Slap event, where they were warmly welcomed by White.
In a video clip, White can be heard saying, "Welcome to the states, boys," while shaking hands with members of their entourage. However, this friendly gesture did not sit well with some conservative voices, with John Cardillo, an outspoken conservative himself, expressing his disapproval. Cardillo declared he was "through with the UFC" and lamented White's willingness to associate with someone who bragged about grooming and raping teen girls on video.
Others were quick to criticize White, labeling the UFC president a gambler with a history of domestic violence.
The Man Behind the UFC: Dana White
For what it's worth, White has acknowledged his mistake and expressed his regrets. He has publicly apologized for his actions, wanting no one to defend him. The Tate brothers face human trafficking charges in their home country and are under investigation in Florida and the United Kingdom. Andrew Tate is a dual American-British citizen. The brothers maintain their innocence in all the cases filed against them.
