UFC President Dana White does not have an MBA, did not graduate from an Ivy league school, yet he was the driving force behind building the promotion into a multi-billion dollar business operating around the world.
And he was exactly what the organization needed. Like no other head of a major sports organization, White did what was necessary to grow the UFC. His brash demeanor and unapologetic attitude endeared him to fans and fighters.
And when it comes to choice of words, nobody has said some things better than the UFC President. He was not shy to use offensive language to get his point across when necessary:
About Dana White
Former street tough Dana White rescued the Ultimate Fighting Championship and transformed the mixed martial arts organization into the hottest sport in America. Get out of his way because he’s not stopping now. And besides, you just might get hurt.
Most corporate titans don’t look like this. It’s hard to picture Donald Trump rolling into a shareholder meeting sporting a fresh shiner from one of his employees. And you definitely won’t see Warren Buffett tossing up 300 pounds on the bench press. Thirty-eight-year-old Ultimate Fighting Championship(UFC) president Dana White may now have the boardroom cred of other business bigwigs, but with his round-shouldered build and two faint but permanent red lines along the edges of his nose (courtesy of a sparring partner), he mostly resembles just another fighter. And that’s perfectly fine with him.
Indeed, White’s tenure as the guiding force behind the rise of the UFC as the newest “fastest-growing sport in America” is best described as a knock-down, drag-out brawl in which he’s now the undisputed champion. Nearly worthless and tainted by controversy less than a decade ago (the sport was not sanctioned by most states), White has helped elevate mixed martial arts (MMA) into the mainstream and transformed the UFC, the first MMA organization, into the biggest—and most surprising—success story in sports.
