A man recently attempted to break into UFC president Dana White's home in Levant, Maine at night. The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office has identified the accused as a man named Brady Cooper who is 23 years old and is from Glenburn, Maine.

Dana White speaks about Brady Cooper's alleged break-in at his house
After the conclusion of the Dana White Contender Series on Tuesday, Dana White made an appearance in front of the media.
At one point, he was asked for details regarding the break-in incident that took place at White's home in Maine.
The UFC president revealed that some of his relatives were inside the house when Brady Cooper allegedly tried to break in.
“It’s crazy. I’m assuming the guy was breaking in to try to rob the house. My sister and her husband and some of his friends are up there visiting right now. The guy came up and tried to kick the door in a couple times and then noticed the camera was there, tried to rip it off and rang the doorbell, freaked out and ran away."
The 54-year-old added that as soon as he got to know about the incident, he asked for the video footage and uploaded it on social media, which helped the Levant police catch the accused.
