Dana White has made a surprising revelation about one of the biggest names in the NFL.

White, the president and CEO of UFC, is known for his involvement in combat sports, but he likely heard a lot of football talk in his house as his kids played the sport and, as a result, are friends with Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua.

Nacua, who is entering his third year in the pros, has quickly built a reputation as a formidable receiving threat and helped the Rams reach the Divisional Round in last season’s playoffs. According to White, the star wideout grew up in his house.

The UFC chief was a guest on Julian Edelman’s ‘Games With Names’ podcast and disclosed there’s a closeness between Nacua and his family.

“My kids grew up with Puka. He grew up in our house,” he said.

Nacua, who was a Pro Bowler and Second-Team All-Pro in 2023, played youth football with Dana’s son in Las Vegas before moving to Orem, Utah, to attend high school. He played his college football for Washington and BYU before the Rams picked him in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

White would also claim that the youth team Puka and his kids played for featured other current NFL stars.

“Me and Lorenzo [Fertitta] used to fund a team called the ‘Little Cowboys’ and he was on the ‘Little Cowboys’ with my kids and a bunch of other guys that are playing right now,” he added.

Nacua set rookie records in his first year with the Rams, registering 105 receptions and 1,486 receiving yards in 17 regular-season appearances for the NFC outfit.

He only played in 11 regular-season games last year, making 79 catches for 990 yards.

“To see Puka doing what he’s doing now, it could not happen to a better human being,” White said. “When you meet this kid, you will love this kid. He’s such a good kid.”

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
