The UFC CEO joined former New England Patriots football wide receiver Julian Edelman during a recent episode of his podcast. Despite expressing his irritation and hesitation regarding such appearances, he seemed to be in good spirits this time out. White appeared to be a fan of Edelman as he praised his stint with the Patriots when they won the Super Bowl thrice, with the former NFL star becoming the MVP on the final Patriots Super Bowl win in 2018.
