Dana White‘s catching some flak online after warmly greeting Andrew and Tristan Tate at a Power Slap event … welcoming them back to the United States.

The president of the UFC was out Power Slap 12 in Las Vegas Friday night … and, video of him dapping up the controversial brothers is circulating online.

Watch the clip for yourself … Dana pulls the brothers in for a quick hug before yelling out “Welcome to the States, boys.”

As you know … Andrew and Tristan landed in Florida just last week after Romanian officials refused to let them leave for months. The two were arrested and charged with creating a criminal gang in 2022. Andrew was also charged with rape.

However, a court ruled it could not prosecute the brothers because of a series of irregularities committed by the prosecutors … so, they were allowed to leave the country.

Andrew asked people to not to prejudge him and his brother — saying they should be considered innocent until proven guilty … and, it looks like that’s how Dana’s treating this situation too.

Worth noting … not everyone is happy about Dana’s embrace of the brothers. Many online aren’t reserving judgement — and, they’re pissed at Dana for even associating with the Tates.

That said, Dana’s not one who cares much about what people think of him … and, we doubt this online criticism is going to get to him either.
