In a star-studded affair at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, UFC CEO Dana White found himself on the receiving end of some fiery roasts during "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady," which aired on Netflix. The event, hosted by comedian and actor Kevin Hart, brought together a crowd that included White, alongside BMF titleholder Max Holloway and bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley.

During the roast, standup comedian Jeff Ross directed his comedic jabs at White, Holloway, and O'Malley. Ross quipped about White's association with the cast of "Queer Eye," joking if they were neutered. He playfully compared White to Michael Vick, albeit in a different context.

The evening's program, which spanned over three hours and streamed live on Netflix, allowed White a brief moment with the microphone. Introduced by Tony Hinchcliffe, he was given just one minute to speak. Frustrated by the limited time, White didn't hold back as he took a shot at the "liberal f*cks" at Netflix. This comment served as comedic relief for Brady and others on stage.

Expressing his displeasure, White exclaimed, "You guys gave me 60 seconds? My name is Dana! Is that not trans enough for you liberal f*cks?" Clearly, he wanted to make the most of his time on the mic and was unafraid to share his viewpoint.

Towards the end of the program, comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz made his mark on the stage. Schulz roasted Brady over his divorce from Brazilian fashion model Gisele Bündchen, but didn't miss the opportunity to take a jab at White either. Schulz humorously referenced UFC fighter pay, suggesting that White's presence at the event was to learn how to negotiate for a smaller purse with Brazilian fighters.

White's involvement in the Tom Brady roast showcased his ability to take a joke and dish out a few scorching ones as well. Despite the limited time given to him, he left an impression with his candid remarks and humorous comebacks. The event not only provided a platform for Brady's roasting but also gave fans a glimpse of the lighter side of the UFC CEO.

As the Netflix special aired, fans and viewers took to social media to discuss and share their favorite moments from the evening, making "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady" a memorable event in the world of sports and comedy.
