Dana White says "he doesn't give a s*** what you are" -- gay or straight, everyone is welcome in the UFC -- but don't hold your breath waiting for the promotion to have a Pride Night, 'cause it ain't happening.

During an interview with Outkick's Tomi Lahren, the UFC honcho was asked why they don't host Pride Nights ... as other major sports organizations do, including the NBA, NHL, and MLB.

"I'm staring at my roster of top 15 fighters. I'm assuming we have some gay fighters. I don't know how many are open. I know that we have some gay female fighters," White said. "I don't give a s***. I don't care what you are, who you are, what you do, we don't talk about that, any of that stuff."

Dana added ... "I'm in the fight business, so it's a little different. Baseball is like America's Game. I stay in my lane, man. Whatever all these other guys are doing, good luck to ya."

Jordyn Woods is already making bank with her "lucky bag" flying off the shelves ... but ex-NBA player John Salley thinks there's another way for Karl-Anthony Towns' fiancée to line her pockets -- sell the original, which only retails for $125, for $200K!!

Dustin Poirier says quitting fighting hasn't been easy, admitting he's struggling with booze ... after police video showed the former UFC champ belligerently cursing airport employees out before being arrested on Sunday.

"Im at the point where I need some help, walking away from fighting hasn't been easy on me and alcohol isn't the answer. It has ruined my father's life and I will not allow it to ruin mine, my family deserves me at 100%," Poirier wrote Tuesday night on Instagram.

He ended his message to fans with a vow to get help.

"I'm trying to do everything I can to get my mind right and take the right next steps."

TMZ Sports broke the story earlier this week ... the 37-year-old fighter, who retired in July, was arrested on Father's Day around 4PM at the Hartsfield-Jackson airport near Atlanta.

It's unclear exactly what went down on the airplane before taking off, but Poirier was removed from the aircraft, and he flipped out.

Police body camera shows Dustin acting aggressively with airport staff and a police officer who was attempting to de-escalate the situation.

"Let's go, big dog. Let's go, big dog. What's up? Buncha hos. Let's go. Let's go. F***in' lying motherf****r. Yeah, pulled me off the plane, all my boys went to the f***in' crib. Now, what the f***?" Poirier said.

"Man, f*** you and f*** her and f*** her. I'll fight you right now," Poirier said, squaring up with the man, who retreated and called for help.

Dustin ultimately went peacefully with the cops and even dapped up the officer he initially cussed out.

More importantly than the criminal case he now faces, Dustin, known as one of the best and most charitable fighters in MMA, says he needs help.

Former Olympic canoeist David Hearn's legal team is pushing back hard against allegations he vandalized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ... insisting his arrest was completely unwarranted and is being used as a distraction from the botched renovation.

The former athlete's lawyers took a swipe at President Trump too ... "Using the criminal justice system to target innocent people as a form of distraction is textbook authoritarian behavior."

Dustin Poirier was unhinged during his arrest this week, screaming while trying to fight airport employees after being removed from his flight ... in a totally chaotic scene.

The body camera footage was released on Tuesday, and from the moment the recording starts, the 37-year-old former UFC champ was furious.

"Let's go, big dog. Let's go, big dog. What's up? Buncha hos. Let's go. Let's go. F***in' lying motherf****r. Yeah, pulled me off the plane, all my boys went to the f***in' crib. Now, what the f***?" Dustin screamed.
