Dana White (born July 28, 1969 in Manchester, Connecticut) is the current President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts organization based in the United States.
Biography
Born in Manchester, Connecticut, White grew up in Las Vegas, Boston and Levant, Maine. He attended University of Massachusetts, Boston for two years before dropping out to work as a hotel bellhop.
White has a background as an aerobics instructor and an amateur boxer, but he later gave up being an active fighter. In 1992, White established Dana White Enterprises in Las Vegas. He conducted aerobics classes at three gyms in the Las Vegas area and began managing MMA fighters Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.
As a manager for UFC fighters Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, White learned that Semaphore Entertainment Group, the parent company of the UFC, was looking for a buyer for the UFC. White soon contacted Lorenzo Fertitta, a childhood friend, an executive at Station Casinos, and a former commissioner of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Within a month Lorenzo and his older brother Frank bought the UFC, with White installed as its president. White currently owns 10% of Zuffa, LLC, the entity the Fertitta brothers created to own and manage the UFC.
Dana White appears on the June/July 2008 cover of Men's Fitness magazine. He was also featured in an article on the August 2008 issue of Rolling Stones Magazine.
