UFC CEO Facing Pressure With Internet Petition Over Champion’s Status
Dana White, UFC CEO, has had a successful run at the top of MMA’s No. 1 promotion in the world. Some days, however, have not been without their challenges. He’s made his fair share of outrageous statements to draw the ire of fans of the sport and is happy to say that his promotion, unlike established sports leagues, such as the NFL, leans to the right on political issues.
“We don’t do anything woke over here,” Dana White said during an appearance on FOX News Channel in April of 2023. Political leanings aside, White has been involved with the UFC, first as the promotion’s president, then as its CEO, since 2001, a few months after the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts first came into play.
