Dana White
UFC president Dana White isn’t the most liked man in combat sports. But, the UFC boss recently visited Thailand and paid a visit to a young girl whose life he saved eight years ago.
However, Dana has long had a reputation for being brash, outspoken and unfair to his fighters.
He’s amassed a fortune on the back of his athletes, who have many gripes about their current pay.
However, what’s lost in the criticism, is the UFC was and is Dana’s baby. He’s the one who found the investors in the Fertitta brothers to go $50 million in debt to try and revive a sport that was banned across the nation and on television. It was Dana’s vision that brought us the sport we now all love today.
And despite a lot of his employees, both present and former, talking ‘hella’ smack about the UFC boss, Dana White sometimes does good too.
In 2010 Dana White paid for Muay Thai’s Kru Nai’s daughter’s liver transplant. She was just a baby, and the family was in desperate need of help. At the time, Dana White stepped up and gave the family the assistance, paying for the girl’s entire operation out of his own pocket.
Now, in the New Year, the UFC boss returned to Phuket Thailand and got a chance to meet the girl who wouldn’t be here today without him.
