Popular streamer MoistCr1TiKaL recently went ballistic on Dana White and slammed the UFC CEO for his stance on fighter pay and AI videos being used for marketing events.
Charles Christopher White Jr., known as MoistCr1TiKaL or Penguinz0 on streaming platforms, is one of the biggest personalities in the space and boasts over 17 million subscribers on YouTube alone.
During a recent stream, MoistCr1TiKaL claimed that he had begun following the UFC closely and had started “hating” White. Picking on the long-debated issue of fighter pay in the UFC, he said:
“I’ve been getting more and more into the UFC and, as such, have begun hating Dana White more and more. As you pay more attention to this sport, you unfortunately have to pay more attention to this fungus. It’s sickening how underpaid the athletes are… Dana White should be in handcuffs for that kind of shit. It’s f**king disgusting.”

The famous streamer also addressed White’s controversial New Year’s Eve slapping incident in January 2023 and the UFC CEO’s comments about scheduling a C-section for his pregnant wife so he could make it in time for a Chuck Liddell fight. He added:
“I don’t think Dana White has any respect for his wife. She had slapped Dana White, and then he responded by slapping her multiple times. Also, what he said publicly about what he made his wife do regarding the birth of his child to compensate for his schedule. He jeopardized the safety and the health of not just his wife, but also his f**king baby… That’s deplorable.”
MoistCr1TiKaL then slammed White for defending the use of generative AI videos and said:
“Dana White doesn’t even pay fighters, you think he cares about paying [visual] artists? This goddamn zombie would 1000% use AI fighters to save even more money if he could… F**king sc*mbag. I do not like Dana White, but I really like the fighters; it’s such a f**king shame. It f**king sucks, he f**king sucks.”
Dana White defends the use of AI for UFC promotional videos
Dana White recently addressed the UFC using AI to make promotional videos and fired back at fans criticizing the promotion for doing so.
During the UFC Seattle post-fight press conference (via @ChampRDS on X), White urged fans to accept AI as a reality today and said:
“Give me a f*cking break. AI is coming, and if we’re using AI who gives a sh*t? People are upset, and we should use artists? How about this. Shut the f*ck up and watch the fights.”
