So there I was checking my twitter stream for #mma postings to catch up on all the goings-on from the weekend, and I keep seeing retweets from Dana White’s twitter account. Turns out he actually tweeted his phone number.”I fucked up and tweeted my number lol but I got to talk to a lot of cool people. Thank u all!!!” the follow-up tweet said, but of course his number had already been retweeted by friends and foes throughout the twitterverse.

What did I do? First, I sent the number to one of my favorite MMA writers, who quickly found the original tweet and posted it on his blog.

Then went back to @danawhite’s twitter feed. “I fucked up and tweeted my number lol but I got to talk to a lot of cool people. Thank u all!!” he wrote. So of course I immediately called and left a voicemail message asking him for an interview for this site, but no such luck. Unfortunately, the number is now disconnected, so it looks like I missed my shot.

Some notable tweets about the incident:

@danawhite why did you disconect the number damit now we cant drunk dial you

(Yeah, that’s what the rest of us were thinking.)

@danawhite Quit using drugs fatboy..Your phone is being used for escort agencies publicity|”Her Name Is Dana”|Classified#What’s your price?R

(Haven’t heard that one yet–conspiracy theorists, take note.)

@danawhite Since I already have your phone number, next time, please Tweet your bank account and pin numbers.

(I’ll settle for an interview, though…)
