Dana White no longer considers his production crew the worst in sports.

White recently slammed the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s production crew for confusing Shakur Stevenson with NBA player Jalen Williams at UFC 329. He labeled them the worst across sports in terms of showing celebrities at events. However, members of the UFC production team have now told White that soccer production crews are even worse when it comes to celebrities.

White believes the words of his production team after Saturday’s FIFA World Cup final, where Spain beat Argentina 1-0. He now considers the FIFA production crew the worst in sports when it comes to showing celebrities.

“The guys responsible for the production of the World Cup, for you guys to hit a Grand Slam home run,” White said on his Instagram Stories. “Even though everybody on my team was arguably saying that you are the worst, I said, ‘No, we’re the worst. They didn’t f*ck it up as bad as we did.’ What do you guys do? You triple down today and you just go, ‘F*ck you, Dana White. You’re not beating us. We’re the worst production team in the history of sports to ever show celebrities.’ I bow down. Congratulations to the producers of the World Cup. You guys win.’ You guys f***ed up that flyover too… You guys absolutely f*cking suck. We’re the second worst.”

White didn’t point out which production error exactly caught his attention during the FIFA World Cup final. Notably, a commentator confused singer Pharrell Williams with rapper A$AP Rocky. The two artists later posted a picture together in good humor.

Meanwhile, another commentator confused U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was sitting behind President Donald Trump, with Cristiano Ronaldo.

It seems the FIFA World Cup final broadcasters mixed up Marco Rubio@marcorubio and Cristiano Ronaldo @Cristiano, saying:

“You see the President of the United States… you’ve got the President of FIFA, and that looks like Ronaldo.”
