Arsenal star Rob Holding blasts UFC president Dana White's bizarre football claim

Arsenal star Rob Holding, among several other footballers, has provided his thoughts on Dana White's claim that football is the "least talented" sport in the world. The UFC president went on a scathing rant about how easy it would be to play football and it has caused quite the stir especially among those who are professionals.

With the World Cup in Qatar holding all the limelight currently from a sporting perspective a viral clip has re-emerged of White's thoughts on football stating that he believes there's a "reason that three-year-olds" play it.

In a podcast from several years ago that has since resurfaced, White goes on a one-minute long rant about the beautiful game. "I'm not a big hockey fan, but I respect how talented you have to be to play hockey. Soccer? Whole other ball game. Can’t stand soccer, I think that it’s the least talented sport on earth. There’s a reason three-year-olds can play soccer ok? You run around and kick a ball."
