‘Degenerate’ gambler Dana White reveals the fight he lost $1 million on

When he’s not busy running an empire that is the UFC, you’ll probably catch Dana White at one of the many Las Vegas casinos. It is, in fact, where Colby Covington found the UFC president when he decided to air out his grievances about a title shot snub in March 2019.

White’s been vocal about his gambling habits for years now. His massive winnings have gotten him banned from casinos, The Palms being one of them.

The flip side, of course, is the losses that sting for a long time. In White’s case, it was when he ended up squandering $1 million on former middleweight champion Jermain Taylor against Kelly Pavlik in 2007.
