The dude has no sense of humor. Considering how he made his fortune, you'd think he'd appreciate the satire.

White finds few laughs in 'Simpsons' MMA show
02:05 AM
UFC President Dana White wasn't impressed with The Simpsons' take on mixed martial arts.
"I was disappointed," White says. "I think it was typical of people that don't know anything about the sport. I know it's for fun, but the second half of it really wasn't even funny."
It's not that White thinks MMA should be immune from cartoon parody. He calls himself a Simpsons fan and says he found a few moments funny.
He liked the scalper who claimed he just had tickets because 200 of his friends didn't show up, and the jiu-jitsu instructor doing a number of Homer's spine amused him. He also laughed at the fight Marge shows other women in town -- several minutes of ground-and-pound, then a reversal for the other guy to return the favor.
What he didn't like:
• Children imitating MMA moves on the playground.
• The crowd dashing out after Marge's fight to see two drunk guys fighting in the parking lot. "Which is the furthest thing from the truth at a mixed martial arts event," White says. "That's the Red Sox-Yankees game. That's not a UFC event."
• The promoter fighting and sucker-punching Marge. "He says you're the first woman I've hit that I didn't love — stuff like that really bothered me," White says.
"We like fighting," White said. "But to make it sound like the UFC crowd is this bloodthirsty crowd that shows up and just want to see people get their (butts) kicked — that's not true. That's the stigma that the mainstream has of us."
At least the promoter — glasses, full mop of hair, country accent — didn't resemble White. "I'm glad they weren't trying to portray someone that was supposed to look like and be me," White said.
White concedes that he may be taking it too seriously because he has been fighting regulatory battles for so many years and still has a ways to go. The sport still isn't sanctioned in New York.
And now he says he can use Marge's experience in "the septagon" as an example of the progress the sport still needs to make.
"The Simpsons program will show you how mainstream we're not," White says.
