For those who follow the UFC president on social media, it`s clear he`s incredibly busy, balancing several key priorities.
Dana White is often seen promoting the UFC or sharing exciting moments from events across his social media platforms.
Beyond his major business dealings for the mixed martial arts organization, White often spends his downtime engaging in another type of transaction: gambling.
The UFC head is known for his passion for gambling, with numerous stories circulating about his enjoyment of it.
Fans reacted strongly when White recently announced his participation in a high-stakes Baccarat tournament.
Dana White reveals tournament loss and announces giveaway
Dana White recently shared on social media that his $10 million Baccarat tournament in Las Vegas didn`t go as planned.
Known for his competitive nature, this loss likely won`t deter the 55-year-old from future games.
However, White did gain something from the tournament invitation: exclusive gifts he intends to give away to his followers.
While details are still being finalized, White plans to gift two items received with the tournament invite to reward loyal fans.
On April 5th, the UFC boss showcased these valuable and rare items in a video, urging fans to watch his page for details on how to enter the giveaway.
“Hey everyone,” White said. “I played in the Baccarat tournament at the MGM Mansions. I lost, I`m out. I’m a loser, but you don’t have to be. They gave us these invitations gifts. This is a 1934 $1000 bill, and this is an ounce and a half of gold. I’m going to give these away to two of you. I haven`t decided how yet, but stay tuned.”
Dana White`s judgment on fighter Torrez Finney proves accurate
Despite his tournament setback, Dana White`s assessment of fighter Torrez Finney seems to have been correct.
Despite multiple wins on Dana White’s Contender Series, the UFC president was initially hesitant to sign Finney due to his fighting style.
In his UFC debut, the undefeated middleweight set a UFC record for the fewest strikes landed by a decision winner in the middleweight division.
While some fans previously criticized White for his initial reluctance to sign Finney, many changed their opinions after Finney`s first UFC appearance.
