The Vulnerable Moments of UFC President Dana White
Did Dana White ever truly feel vulnerable in his decades-long role as the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship?
As we know, Dana White has played a huge role in the success of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. For the last few decades, he has served as the face of the company, whether things go right or wrong, he’s there to talk about it and lay it all out on the table.
It hasn’t always been easy, though. While the UFC is currently flourishing in ways many couldn’t have imagined, it definitely wasn’t that way from the start. They had to face constant obstacles along the way, and White has been there for the majority of those moments.
In a recent interview, White was asked about the most vulnerable moment he’s had in this role. “I don’t know if I ever felt vulnerable,” he said. “But I always felt like we had momentum and traction.”
“Was the timing right? That was the question for this thing,” White continued.
“If I had to think of an era or period where we were in trouble, it was before The Ultimate Fighter.” He paused, “We were $40 million in the hole.”
