Why Dana White operates out of Las Vegas
Dana White acquired the UFC along with the Fertitta brothers in January 2001. Since then, White has taken the company to a whole different level, operating out of its headquarters in Las Vegas. When asked why he chose Vegas as his headquarters, White told Maxx Crosby:
"Well this was our hometown, number one. Number two, this is you know, looked at as the fight capital of the world. Some of the biggest fights of all time happened here. We were the first real sports franchise in Vegas. We were like the first home team if you will. Where we grew up is where we raised our families and this is where we chose to run our business."
OTD in 2001, Dana White and the Fertitta brothers host their first UFC event after acquiring the company for $2M.
Today, after Endeavor purchased the UFC for $4B in 2016, Dana White is worth more than $500M.
