Dana White, the President of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has divided social media after one of his recent videos ended up getting a FedEx delivery driver fired.
Taking to Instagram in a now-deleted video, the 54-year-old could be seen sitting in the back of a vehicle while stuck in traffic in New York City when he saw a FedEx driver across the road throwing brown boxes into the back of a delivery truck. Check out the video below:
A passenger who was escorting White decided to film the entire thing, while the two men laughed at the sight.
"FedEx: We’ll get your s**t there, but we’ll f*** it up," White says to the camera in the clip, before later adding: "My boy don’t give a f***."
The man, who was facing away from the two men, was seen continuing to throw customers' packages into the vehicle with little regard for what could have been inside.
The video ends when the car pulls away from the scene.
While White and his buddy may have been delighted at the scene, FedEx definitely wasn't, releasing a statement after the video went viral.
“The behavior depicted in the video is unacceptable and inconsistent with the professionalism FedEx demonstrates every day,” the delivery company told TMZ.
“We are committed to treating our customers’ packages with the utmost care and this driver is no longer providing service for our company as a result of this behavior.”
The video was later reposted to X (formerly Twitter), where some slammed White for aiding in the firing of worker.
"Ya the driver is wrong for doing a bad job but White is worth like a billion dollars now this guy has no job and White still has his billion I hope White is happy he got this guy fired really something to be proud of," wrote this user.
And this user suggested that he should have got away with a warning: "Dang. He lost his job. I do understand about having packages thrown about like that. I still don’t think he should’ve been fired, a warning should have been given."
However, lots of other social media users hit back, stating that the employee was clearly not bothered whether he got caught or not because he was out throwing packages in public.
"He obviously didn’t care about his job. Did it in plain view on a busy street. Basically begging to be fired," wrote one user, while another added: "Good! I have to ship things all the time and they’re packaged securely so when I get notified something is damaged THAT is exactly what I picture. People need to take pride in their work!"
A third chimed in with: "Good for Dana White. Rich, poor or in between, we need to look out for each other. If someone’s doing something wrong it’s the right thing to safely help out the situation.
"We need more people being like Dana White."
White himself has not addressed the issue as of yet.
