Dana White announced the UFC is working on a documentary and also working with Adam Sandler to develop a comedy based around the UFC recently in an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
Dana White was asked about his involvement in the ‘new" Conor McGregor documentary on Netflix- McGregor Forever and if UFC fighters approach him to get a documentary done or do they do it themselves.
White responded, "Well, no, Conor did that. Conor is a different animal, I mean he’s a global superstar. It’s not easy to just whip out a documentary. We [UFC] have a doc, we’re doing a deal right now with Roku, we’re filming a documentary behind the scenes of the UFC, it’ll come out later this year." McAfee then asked if it was following White’s day-to-day work with the UFC to which White answered, "The whole business. You guys will see all the behind-the-scenes."
White then announced his and the UFC’s partnership with superstar actor/comedian- Adam Sandler. "We’re working on that [UFC Documentary] and we’re also working on a show right now with Adam Sandler that’s a comedy about working in the offices at the UFC."
