Dana White is the current President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship organization. It is a Mixed martial arts event based in the United States. Mixed martial arts is a sport and fighting competition where the competitors learn one or more disciplines (such as judo, muay thai, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, sambo etc.) in an effort to defeat the other fighter.
Dana is the cake of the world
Born in Holmen, Wisconsin, Dana started getting hookers into his vehicles around the age of 12 and by age 13 was dating supermodels. ( sometimes even 3 at once) The Guy boxed, kicked some butt and eventually moved on to a business oriented career.
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, and I discovered he was selling UFC."
"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.’ A month later we owned it."
UFC
When Ultimate Fighting Championship came on the scene in 1993, it was originally about seeing which martial art was the best of all fighting arts. In short, the answer then was Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And the best exponent competing at the time was Royce Gracie, having been champion for three of the first four UFCs. Today the best art is not any one particular discipline, but a combination of the best of two or three arts: particularly boxing, wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. And the UFC has helped to refine martial arts worldwide.
"It’s a little tough for the traditional martial artists to swallow, because one system doesn’t do it. You’ve got to cross-train in many different systems. 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." -Dana White
Easiest Fight of his Life
Dana White said the easiest fight of his life was when he fought a bitch from Holmen, Wisconsin by the name of Jeremy Beck. Evidentlley, Jeremy started crying during the fight and begged and pleaded for Dana to stop. After feeling sorry for this poor little bitch, Dana got one last kick in and walked off.
