The stage was set, the lights dimmed, and the audience held its collective breath. The Roast of Tom Brady—an event where comedians sharpened their wit and celebrities faced the verbal firing squad. But in the midst of the Brady-centric jabs, UFC President Dana White found himself squarely in the crosshairs of none other than the irreverent Jeff Ross.
Jeff Ross, known as the “Roastmaster General,” stepped up to the podium. His eyes twinkled with mischief as he surveyed the room. And then he turned his attention to Dana White. The crowd leaned in, sensing that something explosive was about to happen.
Jeff Ross Compared Dana White with Michael Vick
Ross began with a seemingly innocuous setup: Tom Brady’s rise from a sixth-round draft pick to NFL legend. But then he veered off course, aiming his comedic artillery at Dana White. “So Tom became a Patriot and moved up to New England,” Ross quipped, “and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into owner Robert Kraft’s office and said, ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made. Would you like a massage?’”
The audience chuckled and so did Dana White. Ross wasn’t done. “Dana,” he continued, “you’re like Michael Vick but with human beings.” The room erupted in laughter, gasps, and a few nervous glances. White’s face reddened, caught off guard by the audacity of the comparison.

Dana White wiped the sweat from his brow. Tom Brady, still stoic, exchanged a knowing glance with Robert Kraft. The other roasters—comedians, former players, and even UFC fighters—congratulated White on surviving the verbal onslaught. But deep down, Dana wondered if he’d underestimated the power of a well-aimed joke.
In the annals of roasting history, Jeff Ross’s comparison will forever be etched: Dana White, the man who orchestrates brutal cage fights, likened to Michael Vick—a controversial figure in sports history. As the curtain fell on the roast, White vowed to come back swinging. After all, in the world of comedy, there are no weight classes—only punchlines that hit harder than any left hook.
