Quotes
- “It isn't all about signing autographs and banging broads.”
- “My point is, any of you wanna win this fucking show, move on, take those fucking people out of the equation.”
- “Actually, the father of mixed martial arts, if you will, was Bruce Lee. If you look at the way Bruce Lee trained, the way he fought, and many of the things he wrote, he said the perfect style was no style. You take a little something from everything. You take the good things from every different discipline, use what works, and you throw the rest away.”
- “I boxed in the amateurs before getting into submission fighting and got hooked. Actually, I owned three boxing gyms in Vegas. I trained and managed fighters and had a sports management company. One day I met Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, who I started representing, and I got into this huge contract negotiation with Bob Meyerwitz, the former owner of Tito Ortiz’s contract. Through that, Bob and I developed a mutual respect for one another.”
- “Lorenzo Fertitta was a good friend of mine since we were kids. He and I were going to do something together in boxing anyway, so I called Lorenzo - he was down in Miami - and I said, ‘You know what, I just found out the UFC is for sale. What do you think?’ And he said, ‘That’s interesting.'”
- “No doubt about it. The reality is, there’s nothing fake, obviously, like pro wrestling, and it is the most hard-core, full-contact event in the world.”

Encyclopedic overview
Dana Frederick White Jr. (born July 28, 1969) is an American businessman who is the president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a global mixed martial arts organization. In 2025, White's net worth was estimated at over $600 million by Forbes.
Originally a manager for UFC fighters, White notified his friends, Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, about the opportunity to purchase the UFC. The Fertittas bought the promotion for $2 million in 2001 and appointed White as its president. As an attempt to popularize the brand and the sport, White co-created The Ultimate Fighter, a reality television series, in 2004. The series was successful and led to growth for the UFC. White and the Fertittas continued to lead the UFC until 2016, when it was sold for $4 billion to a consortium led by WME-IMG. White remained president after the sale and was named CEO of the company in 2023 following a reorganization of the ownership structure into TKO Group Holdings.
