In 2015 Las Vegas real estate agent Ernesto Joshua Ramos was sentenced to a 366-day federal prison sentence after he plead guilty to attempting to extort UFC President Dana White for $200,000 over a video tape that showed White having sex with Ramos’ then-girlfriend in a hotel room during a UFC event in Brazil in October 2014.
During the criminal case a federal judge ordered Ramos, as well as prosecutors and defence lawyers, to not reveal White’s identity.
In 2020 Ramos sued White, claiming that White reneged on an offer to pay him $450,000 to keep his name secret after the criminal case had closed.
