Annoyed Dana White cries out under Paddy Pimblett's Instagram post

Dana White has clapped back at critics of both him and Paddy Pimblett in the comment section of one of the lightweight fighter's recent Instagram posts.

The pair have garnered a fair bit of hate recently following the release of their controversial episode on the Scouser's podcast, Chattin Pony. Comments made about Ariel Helwani received the most backlash, but it appears that much of what the UFC president and 'The Baddy' said hasn't been taken kindly.

Pimblett recently posted a clip from the full episode on his Instagram page, showing the pair discussing Jiri Prochazka's recent shoulder injury. Fans decided to make fun of various statements made by White and Pimblett, forcing the UFC president to comment the following:

"Nothing but CREEPS on this whole thread."

Watch the video below:

Prochazka was meant to fight at the final UFC pay-per-view event of 2022. However, a freak accident in training dislocated the now-former UFC light heavyweight champion's shoulder and a training partner's attempt to re-insert the bone caused further damage. Dana White described the injury as "the worst shoulder injury UFC doctors have ever seen."

In the video of White discussing the incident, the UFC president implored fighters to go to a hospital instead of having a 'friend' fix an injury. His claim that the UFC would "pay for everything" regarding medical bills appears to be what fans took issue with and chose to poke fun at.

Dana White expresses urgency in wanting to get a fight card booked in Africa

Dana White is incredibly aware of the speed at which time is currently moving. The UFC president has played an instrumental part in the growth of the UFC over the past 20 years, and he is yet to slow down.

White's ambition is to take the UFC to bigger and better places in 2023. With that, he has his eyes firmly set on the African continent. But the UFC president acknowledged that he would have to move quickly, as time waits for no man.

White recently spoke to Brett Okamoto of ESPN MMA, and said the following:

"I'm nowhere near retiring, but let's be honest, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I mean, I was 30 [just yesterday] and now I'm 53. We get on this hampster wheel, every saturday, every saturday, every saturday next thing you know it's December. So if I don't seriously start looking at Africa, another 10 years will be gone."
