For the final installment of the 3-part Dana White series, Dana walks us through the many ups and downs of building the UFC, ending in the record setting $4B sale in 2016. In this episode, he touches on his upbringing and passion for the fight business- including the fortuitous path to partnering with the Fertitta brothers and how they almost chose to shut down the business early on. Furthermore, he discussed operating the business during Covid, his constant battle with the media and his insatiable appetite to win at all costs and silence the haters. And lastly, what's next for the UFC and what Dana is especially excited about in the fight business in the coming years.
i freaking hope someone makes the dana white biography movie. It would be a INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE
That's an excellent idea! No doubt he's living an extraordinary life; lots of stories
Great idea. A *very inspirational movie. Or *an inspirational movie.
I absolutely love Dana White, and Gary Brecka. Great Podcast!
people dont realize what it took to bring the ufc to where it is today, and how much these guys put on the line for it.. literally risked it all. they deserve it, and to brag about it
🙏
If only we had people like him running our country…
Loooooooool
Dana is so inspirational. Love that guy.
This is the best Dana White interview he's ever done. Great job.
i was just thinking that
I believe you may be right.👍
Have you seen ours?
I am happy to hear that Dana is getting healthy.
Never heard Dana White talk about this stuff before. I got goosebumps when he was describing that wedding, then buying the UFC in 1996. They turned something so small into something that is now too big to fail. This should give motivation to everybody, anything is possible if you want to achieve it.
There's a lot of luck involved though. The same guy might miss those opportunities and never break through. Like he said "timing"
🙏
@@Mcfc2Rich: Tenacity and hard work tend to create “luck”. Timing helps, but not just any entrepreneur would have created what Dana White has created even if they had the same benefit of timing. A multitude of other things had to fall into place through good decision making and willingness to take risk to achieve the vision he had for the company.
Fresh questions, great interview, very revealing.
So there and looking for this in Canada.
Excellent interview!
Amazing podcast guys! Greetings from Costa Rica!
Great interview.
I’ve been saying for years that the real superstar of the UFC is Dana, I dread when he decides to retire 😬
An interview with Bobby J Curly would be awesome.
Great job fam! Loved your very thoughtful questions ❤
People always say dana white is this and that of a person in the media talking crap. But all i see is a man who have been honest with him self and to others majority of his life. His humbleness is what surprises me the most after who he became to be. Amazing human being
When he was younger he was a bit of a douche hes matured a lot. I like Dana White it'll be a sad day when he retires. I hope he and fertitas get into boxing. We need them.
Hell yeh, I’ve been waiting for this episode. ....please do more Dana white
Thx for the ufc thx Dana thx a million
Great series and interviews. Really learned a lot 👍
amazing, thank you
Thx
Great pod. Only criticism id make os that having WAR in the background is a bit of a negative energy/frequency 🙏🏼
I chose to write a paper in High School on Dana White in 2007 for successful entrepreneurs who motivated us to strive to be like them and told the class that you may not know his name but in due time you will. He's in the process of legitimizing and turning cagefighting into one of the biggest powerhouses in the sports industry in the next decade and it's called the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Great video, Dana is the perfect boss.
Ohh. That's a daughter of a Fertitta? Didn't know that.
I hope he gave Peter Welsh 250k like he did one of the neck nerds
This is a bit of a different side to Dana, makes sense considering he's essentially talking to family members
Dana should be the first ever prez prez and run for office
Damn 2k subs and gets dana, absolute steal, must be nice to be brought up with a silverspoon.
No need to hate brother
No need to hate work harder so ur kids can have good connection
Well said 🙌🏻
My life has been changed by this podcast
19:43 the answer is fighter pay Dana.
A true American hero - If he ever runs from President America would be mad not to elect him
Must be older content since Aspen Ladd's name is still on the board
I kno this is a health podcast but I’d love to hear your dad or uncle on here
Soon :)
I live in Maine and think it's so fucking cool Dana has real-estate here and houses he has an awsome house in Levit Maine but he also has ties and spent a lot of time in Boston and Connecticut pretty sure
But he also comes to Bangor Maine once and awhile and signed a Maine fighter awhile back on looking for a fight Maine- Who was Devin Powell kid also ruptured his testicle at one point was crazy
But super happy he lives Maine and comes here because Nobody ever talks about Maine haha love you uncle Dana
Dana 100% White 🧑🏻🦲
Who is her father ? Sounds like it’s one of the Fertitta’s. But not sure exactly
I truly love how that young lady knows all the fighters names and the history, it really shows how Dana has crossed demographics,
the young lady is the daughter of frank fertitta - former owner of the ufc
Pay your fighters more than 15-20% of revenue share and stop trying to pass legislation to kill fighter rights and competition, your top execs took home like 300 million in profits EACH and they only been with the company since the 2016 merger or whenever it happened, you have fighters from pre-2016 still in competition right now and making 50k to show 50k to win - corporate greed always wins in the end though doesn't it? Just look at the shit state of the world we are currently in.
The world isnt built just on greed but envy. They chose to fight for the company. If its so easy go start their own fight promotion. But its not that easy obviously or more than just dana white and the fertitas could do it.
Start your own organization and do that genius. Dana runs a real business with many employees.
@@kdogglv Dana doesn't run anything anymore, Endeavor, Ari and its execs are running it now, Dana is a promoter AKA paid liar.
Daddy’s money/connections pay for the channel guests?
No offense but that girls nose 👃 is all I can look at , most oddly shaped nose I’ve ever scene not in a bad way just different 😊
👃👃👃👃job
her dad and uncle are the fertida brothers...holy shit...thats some game of thrones targaryn shit
Build the empire
1. Get your rich friends to buy it
I love Dana pink I’m gonna fight for the boss soon 🇲🇽
I would suggest you start addressing him by his correct name if that's the case
imagine we could replace shyte under qualified politicians with people like dana, elon, etc etc....dont you yanks think its time for that now ?
wish dana was my uncle ,hehe
