"There's cocaine, black tar heroin" - When Dana White showed off rare art piece in his UFC office that was made of 'actual legit drugs'
Dana White is known for his brutally honest and outspoken personality. The UFC president often speaks his mind without the slightest hesitation
White was once seen showing off a piece of art in his office made of actual drugs. The design was a clip placed in a gun, taped with dollar bills. On one side of the clip was apparently "real drugs." According to White, the piece is a representation of war and its after effects.
While the gun represented the economical side of war, the drugs stood for soldiers who ended up using after active duty. In an interview with JetSet Magazine, White said:
"This is the most testosterone-filled office on earth probably. Yeah, that's a gun that's taped up in dollar bills. And basically what this piece of earth represents is, literally on the other side, on that clip, those are all real drugs in there. There's cocaine, black tar heroine and a bunch of other actual legit drugs that are in that clip over there. And it's basically represents what war is really all about. And what happens as a result of war, you know, it's all about money. And you know, the soldiers who go and fight, most of them become addicted to drugs or end up messed up somehow. So it's pretty cool what this piece of art represents."

Next to the swords sits the fossil of a sabre-toothed tiger skull, one of Dana White's most prized possessions. The walls are decorated with stunning photographs of the likes of Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, who White calls his heroes.
