Career
White encountered Bob Meyrowitz, the owner of Semaphore Entertainment Group, the Ultimate Fighting Championship's parent company, while working as a manager for Ortiz and Liddell. When White learned that Meyrowitz was trying to sell the UFC, he called childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta (an executive and co-founder of Station Casinos and former Nevada State Athletic Commission chairman) to ask if he was interested in purchasing the company. Lorenzo and his older brother Frank purchased the UFC in January 2001, which later became a Zuffa affiliate. As the company's president, White was named.
When White and the Fertittas purchased the UFC, they got nothing more than the brand name "UFC" and an old octagon. The previous owners had stripped the company's assets to prevent bankruptcy, so much so that the UFC.com website was sold to a company called "User Friendly Computers" by the previous owners. The UFC developed into a very profitable market over time, with White as president, and its gross revenue reached $600 million in 2015. In July 2016, Zuffa was sold to a group of investors led by WME-IMG for $4.025 billion. At the time of the acquisition, White owned 9 percent of the company. White maintained his role as president while also being invested in the new company.
The UFC announced in May 2017 that Dana White's Contender Series would be hosted by White. The show, which is only available through UFC Fight Pass, the promotion's digital subscription service, and separately from the UFC brand, gives up-and-coming fighters the opportunity to showcase their talents in the hopes that one day they will compete in the UFC.
As the UFC entered a new, seven-year contract to remain president of the United States, White agreed to remain president of the United FC on March 18, 2019.
Due to McGregor's service to the NFL, White and McGregor entered the boxing scene. White said he was "getting into boxing, 100%" at Freddie Roach's Wild Card West boxing club in October 2017. In 2019, White said he wanted to bring boxing into the UFC's business portfolio. He has since stalled on these efforts, claiming that boxing promotion is "a shattered industry that is an absolute nightmare to try to fix" in 2022.
