Dana White Quietly Signs New Five-Year Extension With UFC Parent Company TKO

UFC president and CEO Dana White isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. After months of speculation regarding his long-term future with the promotion, White confirmed Sunday night that he has signed a new five-year contract extension with TKO Group Holdings, keeping him at the helm through at least 2031.

White revealed the news during the UFC 323 post-fight press conference at T-Mobile Arena, casually acknowledging the deal while laughing off any rumors of impending retirement.

“I have been extended,” White said. “Five years. Another five-year extension, literally this year.”

While White didn’t specify the exact date the new contract was finalized, he indicated it took place sometime in 2025.
