Dana White's skit during Sunday's NFL games causing controversy

UFC President Dana White was a part of a comedy skit during Sunday’s NFL on FOX and it has caused a bit of controversy.

As part of the promotional bits for Saturday’s UFC on FOX 5, White was part of a sketch called “Riggle’s Picks” during the NFL on FOX.

White posed as one of Riggle’s insiders, posing as a homeless man in a cardboard box, providing Riggle with the inside scoop on Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton’s pregnancy.

Following the skit, the Pres was barraged by outraged folks on Twitter.

Not funny for those who actually live out of a box. Should apologize

@danawhite
the pussies in this country who cry about everything everyone does makes me f—— ill.

The back and forth tweets went on for a while, but have seemed to fizzle out.
