$\"NewsHub\"$ Actress Meryl Streep stole the headlines with her acceptance speech at Sunday night\u2019s Golden Globes in Los Angeles.
Streep, accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, slammed President-elect Donald Trump \u2014 without mentioning him by name \u2014 for his apparent mocking of a disabled reporter during the campaign. (Trump has repeatedly said he was not mocking the reporter\u2019s physical disability, including in a tweet on Monday morning .)
But tucked in her remarks was another comment that some have taken as a subtle jab. In defending \u201cHollywood\u201d and the \u201cforeigners\u201d among the actors who were being honored, Streep said, \u201cSo Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if we kick them all out, you\u2019ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.\u201d
The line drew applause in the room. But UFC President Dana White took exception to the 67-year-old Streep\u2019s comments.
\u201cThe last thing I expect is an uppity 80-year-old lady to be in our demographic and love mixed martial arts,\u201d White told TMZ Sports .
White disputed the notion that his sport is not an art. Mixed martial arts combines different fighting disciplines, including boxing, jiu-jitsu and judo. UFC is the most popular mixed martial arts organization in the country.
\u201cOf course, it\u2019s an art,\u201d he said. \u201cThese fighters, these men and women, are so talented. People who get into the UFC are the elite of the elite.\u201d
The UFC is filled with fighters of many nationalities, including many Brazilians.
\u201cWe have fighters from all over the world,\u201d White said. \u201c… She\u2019s not educated about the sport and it\u2019s a completely uneducated comment.\u201d
Scott Coker, the president of Bellator , another mixed martial arts organization, invited Streep to attend the company\u2019s next event.
White spoke at the Republican National Convention last year. William Morris Endeavor Entertainment bought the UFC from White and his partners in July, and among the executives of WME is Ari Emanuel.
\u201cAri Emanuel is definitely Hollywood. He makes movies and TV shows and he wasn\u2019t a Trump supporter either,\u201d White said during his TMZ interview.<\/p>\n
