UFC CEO Dana White brushed off a reported $20 million offer from Misfits Boxing to fight promoter Eddie Hearn, answering the claim with an eye roll and a one-line quip during an interview.

The interviewer told White that Misfits had put the figure on the table for a bout against Hearn. White did not engage with the offer. He rolled his eyes, drawing a burst of laughter from the interviewer, then said, "Sounds like they got what they wanted." The line suggested he viewed the reported offer as little more than a publicity play for the boxing promotion.

White has not said he would consider the fight, and nothing in the exchange points to talks, a contract or any plan for the bout to happen. The offer itself was relayed by the interviewer rather than by Misfits in any formal capacity, and White's reaction suggests he is not treating it as a serious proposition.

White, 57, is the face of the UFC and is listed by the promotion as an orthodox-stance American from the United States. He stands five-foot-ten, or 178 cm, with a 73-inch reach. He has no professional fighting record, listed as 0-0-0, and his public profile comes from running the world's largest MMA organization rather than from competition.

Why it matters

  • The exchange adds another chapter to the ongoing friction between the UFC and the crossover boxing scene, where promoters regularly trade barbs and call-outs.
  • White's response keeps his stance consistent: he treats such offers as noise rather than business.
  • No bout has been made or agreed, so the story remains a viral moment rather than a development in either sport's schedule.

The brief clip spread quickly on social media, where the reaction centered on the eye roll and the interviewer's laughter more than on any prospect of a White and Hearn fight actually taking place.
