Former two-division boxing world champion and commentator Paulie Malignaggi has launched a scathing attack on a new Netflix documentary featuring UFC President and CEO Dana White, dismissing the project as a "bullshit artist story."
Malignaggi, known for his outspoken commentary career following his retirement from professional boxing, did not hold back in his assessment of the streaming platform's "tell-all" profile of the UFC leader. The criticism comes as White continues to expand the UFC's global footprint and media presence.
Background on the Documentary
The Netflix documentary, described as a "tell all" examination of White's tenure at the helm of the world's largest mixed martial arts promotion, has drawn attention from combat sports figures. White, who has served as UFC President since 2001 and added CEO responsibilities in recent years, was photographed as recently as September 29, 2026, attending Dana White's Contender Series Season 10, Week 8 at the Meta APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Malignaggi's critique adds to ongoing debates about the portrayal of combat sports promoters and the relationship between boxing and MMA communities. The former IBF junior welterweight and WBA welterweight champion has frequently commented on both sports throughout his broadcasting career.
