Description

My guest today is the incredible Dana White. For last 23 years Dan has been the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the leading mixed martial arts company in the world. During these 23 years, Dana has transformed the UFC from an unwanted, unloved, unsuccessful company heavily indebted into one of the greatest and largest sports franchises in history. And he's viewed by many as the greatest sports promoter in history. He is also the founder of Power Slap, a slap fighting promotion company owned by Ultimate Fighting Championship showcasing his innovative spirit in sports promotions. 00:00 - Introduction03:18 - Dana's Tough Childhood10:12 - Dana's First Fight17:58 - Dana's Work Experience as a Bellman25:18 - Move to Las Vegas27:15 - Timing is Everything34:29 - Is College Important40:44 - Cleaning Up the UFC43:06 - The Ultimate Fighter Breakthrough48:09 - The American Dream, Hardship, and PerseveranceSponsors:Sandee | Bliss: BeachesWant to Connect?
