Dana White is a 55-year-old American entrepreneur and promoter based in Las Vegas, United States. He has headed the Ultimate Fighting Championship as its president since 2000, and he was recently appointed CEO of the organization when the Endeavor group overtook World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and merged it with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) under the TKO holdings in 2023. Acclaimed for his distinct style as a combat sports promoter, Dana White is credited with the success the Ultimate Fighting Championship has witnessed under his watch. The professional mixed martial arts promotion is the largest as of 2024 in the business. It is a multi-billion dollar venture now and has come a long way since White was appointed its president when it was taken over by Lorenzo Fertitta in 2000.
The Fertitta brothers and Dana White, at the time of acquisition, got the branding of the UFC and an old octagon; it was on the verge of bankruptcy. It gradually skyrocketed to a highly profitable business that has a strong, loyal fanbase across the world today under White’s leadership. The promotion is credited with popularizing professional mixed martial arts and producing several superstars in the sphere. Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Georges St. Pierre, Amanda Nunes, and Ronda Rousey are a few of the many noticeable legendary mixed martial artists that the UFC boasts itself of.
