While appearing as a first-time guest on the popular podcast, This Past Weekend, Dana White was horrified to hear Theo Von recount a story of being asked to remove an episode by Peloton's advertising team, as it "wouldn't be a good look."

Dana immediately went on the offensive in support of Theo.

"Peloton sells stationery bikes and they got a problem with Robert f*cking Kennedy? F*ck you Peloton."

Impassioned by Theo's story, Dana continued his rant, moving on to Peloton's CEO, Barry McCarthy.

"Barry McCarthy looks like that guy, 100%. Imagine that f*cking guy picking up the phone and telling you you can't have Robert Kennedy -- who's a democrat by the way... That guy is the typical, f*cking pompus, arrogant f*cking douchebag that I cannot stomach... F*ck Barry McCarthy and Peloton."

Dana then promptly called UFC's Chief Content Officer, Craig Borsari, into the recording room to announce they would be removing all Peloton bikes from the UFC headquarters gym to be "thrown in the garbage."

"You can film us, my guys are going to take the Pelotons out of the gym, today. We're going to go throw them in the f*cking garbage, today. We're throwing the Peloton's in the garbage and we're throwing them out of the UFC gym."

All of this likely stems from the backlash over Dana's recent decision to partner with Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch after the Dylan Mulvaney controversy, a few months ago. With advertising and free speech being a touchy subject at the moment, Dana remains steadfast in the UFC's new partnership, citing a good directional fit.

"They take care of veterans, veterans' families... almost a billion dollars with U.S. farmers. That alone, is the reason you should be drinking f*cking Bud Light. I look deeper than, 'Oh they did this f*cking can with whoever. I don't give a sh*t about that."
