congratulations or write a note and send something
something
um you know he was always that guy then
Donald Trump and his son got in and
actually started to compete with the UFC
so with with another company and you
would always have these you know these
media people trying to put me against
Trump and say oh and my whole thing was
I will never say anything bad about this
guy he was extremely good to me not only
in the early days but throughout the
rest of my career and you know that
that's all that stuff is what started
the incredible relationship that I have
with Donald Trump I mean you know I've
seen the good side of trump and I've
seen the but we've all seen some of the
bad side of him
um you've remained for reasons you've
explained extremely loyal to him hard is
that sometimes to do that publicly it's
it's not hard as all because I you know
how I judge people is how my
relationship is with them you know I
could I can have a friend that 15 other
people don't like for whatever reason I
judge them off their relationship with
me and I can tell you from personal
experience Donald Trump has never been
anything but loyal and incredible and an
amazing friend to me do you think he can
become president again
I I do I mean people thought he couldn't
become president the first time and he
did I absolutely think he could do it
again listen
the forces are fighting against him
they're trying to do everything they can
to make sure that this guy uh does not
uh even have a chance to be elected
again but yes I mean a majority of the
country wants this guy to be the next
president of the United States how often
do you talk to him
I talked to him several times a month I
just talked to him last week no we we he
and I are very close we're very good
friends I consider him a very good
friend of mine and we we talk a lot what
fights he's a fight fan he's a fight
freak he loves fights
um you know mostly what we talk about is
is fights he's a fight fan and uh you
know we talk about other things family
and stuff like that too but mostly we
talk about fights well I got to know him
on Celebrity Apprentice which I ended up
winning knocking out Lennox Lewis by the
way on my way to Victory which remains
one of the all-time great uh pugilist
achievements but one of the early
contestants who I knocked out much
earlier was Tito Ortiz who turned out to
be one of the first big name Fighters
that you had yeah him and Chuck Liddell
were were two of the big stars for us
when we first bought the company
how important was it to have people like
that who could energize the sport for
you with Showman
that's what this business is all about
basically you know uh it's about you
know early on in the early days you know
when people doubted this business
doubted this sport
um they would talk about oh what are you
going to do when this guy retires what
are you going to do it's I've been
hearing that stuff for you know 15 years
you know when we first started the
company but
one of the things that that I have been
really good at is finding new Talent
building them into stars and and you
know I mean look at what Conor McGregor
was just saying it earlier too look what
he did for Europe and other parts of the
world you know when you find these guys
we've got a star that breaks in Brazil
you got to Star the breaks in Canada you
know the UK Australia right now is is on
fire for us
um that's basically what this business
is all about is Star Building
and it's extremely lucrative like I've
said several times this made you very
rich is money important to you I know
deal making is important but it's the
actual money is that a big motivator for you
um it never has been it's never been a a
a huge motivator for me if money was the
big motivation for me I probably would
have retired in 2016.
um but no it's not taking the sport to
to to the level that we're taking it to
there's still a lot of work to do here
at the UFC to get to where I Envision
this being from day one and um
um
yeah no it's it's when you when you do
what you love to do I like breaking
records that's what I like to do I like
doing things that people say can't be
done and when you do those things money
is just what happens but do you know how
not not not no not
to the penny I have I have an idea but
no no I don't I don't really focus on
that I mean if you were to fall over
tomorrow God forbid and something
terrible happened to you I mean what you
know here lies Dana White he was worth
boom what would that figure look like
yeah if I drop dead tomorrow I think my
family is going to do okay they're going
to be all right they're gonna they're
gonna make it Forbes Forbes said half a
billion are they grossly underestimating
your fortune
let me tell you this when you go online
and you type in what somebody's net
worth is every single one of them are
unless unless it's like so you
you handed in your information to Forbes
and and Forbes that a whole audit of
what you're worth
all everything you see online
about people's net worth what I really
like about you Dana and your story is
that it's it's a story of resilience of
determination of getting yourself back
on your feet when you've been knocked
down all the kind of Rocky Balboa things
that he says in that Infamous speech or
famous speech to his son who's being a
spoiled brat and he finally has it out
with him in the street I've seen you say
that you think America and probably The
Wider World actually has gone soft and I
agree I think it has gone soft I think
we've become a a world where virtue
signaling is more important than reality
uh where facts no longer matter you can
all pretend to be whatever you want and
everyone has to go along with it
um where everyone's offended by
absolutely everything
um have we got to this place and what's
what's the way out of this kind of woke
yeah no that's absolutely how I feel and
you know I can't speak for the rest of
the world because I didn't grow up in
any of these other places but I can
definitely speak on America America has
become so soft it's it's actually
you know
it's a problem and
I tell kids all the time if you even
have this much Savage in you everything
out there right now is for the taking
there was a there was a point in time in
the United States where you would look
at at different businesses and say God
it's almost impossible to break into
this business because it's been so
established and even the companies all
these companies that are so soft right
now everything out there is for the
taking if you have even this much Savage
in you if you are willing to go out
there and grind and work hard you know
you got these people that don't want to
go to work they want to stay home and
and work from home and all and and
believe me I've seen this when I've
spoke before I see it pop up in the
comments all these people saying you're
wrong no things can be done from home no
it can't you have to be in the building
with like-minded people you know how
much stuff that I have on my agenda
every day
um that needs to be done but other
things that pop up in the office and you
get a bunch of of smart hard-working
people in a room together and you go on
a completely different you know
you you have to have people in the
office working every day and these
people that don't want to stay home man
stay home and and do your thing good
luck to you I wish you all the luck in
the world there's going to be a small
group of hungry Savages out there that
are going to run every one of you over
and you can sit home and you can cry and
complain about how you didn't get yours
and it's because this person had this
opportunity that you didn't have it's
all crybaby stuff that's going
on in the whole world like you said but
more so in the United States like I've
never seen before I read a great profile
of You by the financial times and the
the rights are clearly gun in with the
kind of idea that maybe you were going
to be some kind of egotistical monster
whatever but he found the complete
opposite and he told some really
interesting stories one of which was as
you were coming out of the pandemic in
the middle of the pandemic how you got
all your team together 300 people I
think and you said there's absolutely no
way I'm going to start cutting you off
you know firing a lot of people to save
money we're going to get through this
together and apparently the reaction
from your staff was extraordinary
um how important was that moment for you
to prove yourself as a boss in the tough
yeah uh it's so true it's like you know
the the UFC has been this rocket ship of success
success
um since 2005 right and nobody does
anything by themselves you build a great
team around yourself you know you know
smart talented hard-working people who
sacrifice every day uh they didn't see
their kids football game or they didn't
go to this play because they're out
working hard to build the sport and
build the company right now you're gonna
tell me covet comes covet never really
made sense to me uh you know from the
beginning the first day when everything
started to shut down and it was getting
weird I got all my employees together
and I said listen
I don't know what's going on I I can't
explain I don't have the answers for you
but if any of you are scared or feel
like you're you know your life is in
danger or somebody at home might be in
danger you guys can go home and do
whatever you have to do my team is a
bunch of of solid uh you know they
couldn't be any more solid and I tell
these people how much I love them all
the time
so what you're going to tell me is the
first time that we ever face adversity
right we're facing real adversity here
I'm gonna start laying these people off
in the scariest time in the history of
the world good luck to you you know we
we gotta save the bottom line over here
I will never pick money over people
so I I was willing to give up my salary
my bonus whatever it was going to take
to make sure that everybody was
comfortable that we could take care of
the employees and then I started trying
to find a way to go through covet don't
this is America
we we've been doing this since the day
this country started is solving problems
you have to figure out
here's the problem how's there a
solution now in Abu Dhabi
these guys were way ahead of the curve
they were testing they were doing all
this stuff well if they can test we can
test we can figure this out so that was
always my thought process going through
it there was no way I was going to let
go of my employees during the scariest
time of our lifetime we're going to
stick together and we're going to fight
through this together or we were all
going to sink together
that's how it was going to go you talked
about Abu Dhabi there in the Middle East
um and you're a big fan of a lot of what
goes on in the Middle East particularly
in sport and other things they're
obviously getting more and more dominant
now in sports like golf with the Saudi
live League you now have the Saudi
Football League led by Cristiano Ronaldo
but loads of top stars going out there
I'm a good friend to Cristiano and I've
been following this journey with him
quite a Fascination it's taken a lot of
blow back from people who say we
shouldn't be allowing the Saudis or
other Middle Eastern countries who have
a bad human rights records to be doing
yeah my relationship has been with uh
with Abu Dhabi in the UAE for years now
and uh if you look at what that royal
family has done with that country over
the last 50 years it's incredible
um and they were the first ones really
to do it they started getting involved
in sports and and saw the whole Sports
thing coming I mean UFC has been in
business with them
for like 15 years um
um
and to be honest with you when the
hit the fan during covid these guys were
way ahead of the curve way ahead of you
know what was going on and and how to
test and how to create a true bubble and
and that was why I ended up doing what I
did uh with Abu Dhabi when this stuff
happened and I think you're going to see
more of that they obviously they have
the money you know Saudi UAE uh Qatar
the list goes on and on they have the
money and and they see where this is all
going when you look at live television
now they're streaming and you can dump a
whole season on Netflix and you can
consume whole season the only thing that
is really destination television that
you have to watch live is live sports
right and do you have any do you have do
you have any moral qualms about the
human rights records of some of these
countries or do you think it should be
just kept out of sport that actually I
mean I have a view that almost every
country if you put a real forensic Gaze
on them about reasons for not to let
them have sport on moral grounds you'd
end up having to play everything in
Iceland or Switzerland
yeah yeah I don't know that that's a
tough one I mean that that's a that's a
whole different subject and a whole
different conversation
um you know we we do business with UAE
these guys have always been great Stand
Up Guys I'm sure you can find some
issues with whatever you can find some
issues with with lots of different
companies that that that uh do business
in the United States and everywhere in
the world when it comes to Human Rights
and what you think is right and what you
think is wrong
um I I
and very comfortable sitting here today
telling you that uh my relationship with
the royal family of UAE has been amazing
they've never been anything but great to
us and our people
um you know
I respect them and I consider them
friends too there's been a little
speculation about a massive potential
fight in the Octagon between Elon Musk
and Mark Zuckerberg
you've been quite excited about this uh
do you think it's going to happen do you
think you will be the guy to put it on
and how much money could it generate
well we were talking about that earlier
on I think that has uh Fallen apart I
think I think that uh you know had it
happened and had we moved forward and
done it it was it would have done a
billion dollars in Revenue
um and uh
that I don't know I mean if I knew the
answer to that I'd be Vince McMahon but
uh you know who wins and who loses I
don't determine they do but uh I tell
you this it would have been huge it
would have been the biggest fight in the
history of the world and no fight would
have uh you'd have had to have Trump
versus Putin to to uh to beat that
record well actually I interviewed Chris
Christie one of the Republican
candidates to be president and he
offered to get in the octagon with Trump
that would be a battle of the heavyweights
heavyweights
that is true yeah that is true listen a
lot of guys say I want to you know throw
me in the octagon and then when it comes
down to actually doing it very few
people in the world will actually do it
I think that's completely right I mean I
think UFC fight scene of all the forms
of fighting that exist I think it's the
most skilled and it's the most
courageous because what they do to each
other and that octagon can often be
yeah no it takes a certain type of
person that's why there's very few
people in the world that actually make
it into the UFC and get to that level
um you have to be a very special unique
different human being in the way that
you're built made up no you know not
just forget about talent and and and the
determination and the grit that it takes
to go out and train every day to become
you know a mixed martial arts fighter
but to get to this level of the UFC
very very few people can do it and we're
going to see Conor McGregor back in a
high profile fight
he is back in the gym he's training and
uh yeah I I expect to see Connor
fighting next year
does it matter that he's lost
a few big fights recently does that
impact on his ability to put bums on
seat sell tickets
well here's what happens Pearson I I you
know this I'm sure you've seen this with
colleagues and friends and and people
that you know
um once a certain level of money
is attained
you know to to to be the person that you
were coming up to be that hungry and and
work that hard and be that dedicated to
the sport or or whatever craft it is you
do money changes everything and Conor
McGregor has made that kind of money
um and it's not a knock it's just just a
fact I mean when we sold the company in
2016 it you know this was sort of like a
a Microsoft of fighting you know there
were a lot of people that made a lot of
money and a lot of people left and they
went and they went and retired or moved
on to uh you know you have to have a certain
certain
type of drive to make that kind of money
and that you've seen guys in this sport
when they make that kind of money you
know they'll fight
a lot less like Connor has or they go on
losing streaks because it's just you are
not that same person once you get that
kind of money you lose the edge
the hunger yeah yeah the the hunger and
the drive is not the same you know
everything Conor McGregor's a perfect
example everything that Conor McGregor
ever dreamed of and stuff he couldn't
possibly dream of in his life
he has right now you know
um and and it's and it's tough to be on
a yacht
all summer and then say I got to get
back in the gym and and start grinding
again and again it's not a knock it's
just it's it's the way it's the way life
is especially in the fight business
especially in the fight business social
media has been a massive thing for you
and you actually gave one person some
great advice because Dwayne Johnson The
Rock did not want to go on to social
media you persuaded it single-handedly
he said you're mad you should be on
social media he's now the most followed
American man on Instagram so I think the
words he's looking for are thank you Dana
Dana
yeah the rock didn't want to be on
social media and I said you're crazy I
said do you know how big you'll be on
social media and I kind of explained it
uh to him
from a business perspective on why he
should do it and I actually set him up
with my social media team and they they
got him started and got them going and I
mean the guy is an absolute Juggernaut
now on social media so yeah it's social
media I mean you've got kids I've got
kids social media has a lot of good
stuff about it there's no question
has some bad stuff it can be pretty
toxic a lot of kids suffer from anxiety
from the stuff that exists on social
media what do you think on the balance
sheet is it a Force for good or not
yeah I think there's a lot of negative
things in this world that if you if you
focus on that type of stuff and if
you're not Tough Enough and if you're
not hard enough for it let me tell you
what if you if if your feelings get hurt
easily you should stay as far away from
social media as possible okay exactly
agree but
social media is one of the greatest
marketing tools of all time right and
what you have to understand is you have
to embrace the negativity too the
negative you can't just have you're
never going to be in a scenario anywhere
in life where everything is positive oh
everybody loves me and everybody's
saying great things about all the things
that I do it just it's impossible so to
if if that is even your mindset you're
way too soft for probably a lot of
things but to say that social media is
bad it's it's the same thing that that
they said about us when we were younger
that television was horrible for you my
God if you watch television and this and
that and everything listen there's a lot
of bad things out there in the world if
you are soft and if you are a total wimp
you know forget about it everything's
gonna bother you everything's gonna hurt
your feelings and everything's going to
give you anxiety what do you what do you
say yourself up in a closet somewhere
and hide from the whole world you know
one day though it's so refreshing to
hear this because so few public figures
will actually say this stuff and more
because they get terrified the won't
Brigade is going to cancel them for
saying things which are so obviously true
true
and I just it's refreshing whenever I
hear you speak I think this guy just
says what he thinks and by the way I
yeah so social media is the greatest
marketing tool in the world if you own a
business or you're you're aspiring to do
something uh you know and and get your
your image your product your whatever it
is out there you're insane not to be on
social media but don't go on social
media and thinking that it's gonna
here's the other thing that you have to
understand too about the negativity on
social media if you're out there looking
to promote something you have to embrace
the negativity because the negative
people are so loony they're so bad
nuts that these people will stay on
there all day fighting with everybody to
make it and it kicks you up into the
algorithm and actually makes your post
act more popular you know you this this
is what a lot of these big corporations
don't understand like these big
corporations want to we want to get into
social media and everything else well
you better get ready for some negativity
but most of them can't handle negativity
so that so they they try to stay away
from it we live in a hard world people
are mean and people say mean things and
people do mean things that's how that's
been that way since the beginning of
time and it's never going to change so
either toughen up or go hide somewhere
just get out of the way we're in a very
strange place at the moment in sport
where biological males are beginning to
dominate biological females in women's
sport because they identify as women
what do you think of that
I think you know exactly what I think of
that I think that you know let me put it
to you this way I have a daughter okay
and and uh
you know I I don't ever want to see a
day where somebody who is a biological
male is competing against my daughter so
yeah no I I think it's uh it's another
it's another nutty you know insane thing
that's happening in the world today you
know that we're all trying to deal with
and uh yeah I'm just glad there's no
some my daughter's a cheerleader so
she's not playing any competitive sports
but uh you know it hasn't happened in
the chair in the cheer world yet
I mean if your daughter wanted to be a
fighter what would you feel about that
because you put on some very very big
fights involving women I gotta be honest
I I never feel that comfortable watching
women smacking Seven Bells out of each
other I know it's hugely popular I know
they love doing it I know that some of
them become Superstars I make tons of
money but as the father of an 11 year
old girl myself I would never want to
see her do it how do you feel about if
your daughter wanted to
I famously got hammered uh like 10 years
ago saying women would never fight in
the UFC and then I met Ronda Rousey and
she looked dangerous from about five
rows away
did you talk to her I just said hello
but she was I mean she had an
intimidating Aura and I thought yeah I
mean she's someone that clearly Revels
in that sport Revels in fighting yeah
and why should I be a secretary he can
think that women shouldn't be able to do
what men do
yeah no you're absolutely right and and
I was I had the same thing but you have
to understand the context at the time I
was trying to get people to accept men
fighting in a cage women fighting in a
cage I was like oh my God this will be
next to Impossible but if you look at
what we did almost everything was
impossible in building this business to
what we built it to today but what I did
learn is that these were I never
expected these women to be as Technical
and and as badass as they have been and
the answer to that question is yes if my
daughter wanted to fight I would
absolutely let her fight I wouldn't stop
my daughter from doing anything or
competing in anything that you wanted to
do I would actually be very supportive
and and help in any way that I possibly
could who is the greatest fighter of any
kind that you've ever seen of any time
in any sport anytime any sport
it's so hard to put your thumb on it
because I think well let me let me make
it an easy question I'll make an easy
question if you could choose one person
in history
say modern history last hundred years to
fight literally for your life who would
oh God you know I'm a big Ali fan he was
so iconic and he changed so many things
uh in the world in culture and and uh
you know as far as racism and so many
different things go Ali was such a
massive figure in life you know not just boxing
boxing um
um
was he the greatest ever out of one of
the greatest humans ever that's a fact
but that's not the question as far as
you got me on this one I mean Jon Jones
who's in the UFC still has never been
beat this guy has beat everybody and
when you talk about real fighting you
know when you talk about who the baddest
man on the planet is when you talk about
that the real
definition of what that means you throw
two guys in a room and who comes out
yeah okay that's the baddest man on the
planet and it's it and and it is hard to
not say that Jon Jones is that guy right
now I tell you who I would say I would
take Tyson before he went into prison
Mike Tyson I thought I for those 100 but
for those three who doesn't know the
ground game Tyson can't grapple type
there's no Tyson's hanging over here his
quote is on the wall over here nobody
loves Mike Tyson more than I do believe
me but when you talk about putting two
guys in a room who comes out Jon Jones
has the tools to beat everybody
I want to come back and just uh finally
talk to you about your health because
you've had some pretty big Health scares
and a guy called Gary Brecker who's
going to join you has pretty much I
think you would say helps save your life
and we're going to talk about how that's
happened and why it had to happen so
we've been joined Now by Gary breckett I
think the easiest thing Dana explain to
to the audience who Gary is and why is
so important to you
yeah so Gary Brecker is a human
biologist and and I met him uh through
through a long time friend of mine and
basically when you go see a doctor about
your General Health they want to put you
on pills and at the time that I met him
I was on three different medications and
you know basically when you look at
these different meds each one of them
have you know
10 side effects and
I was dealing with three different
doctors at the time and they they
couldn't tell me any they couldn't fix
what was wrong with my legs they
couldn't fix they couldn't really keep
my blood pressure under control they
couldn't keep my cholesterol under
control my triglycerides were off the
charts I mean I got your show isn't long
enough for me to walk you through the
laundry list of things that were wrong
with me so I ended up finding out that
he was a mortality expert so
he could tell you when you were going to
die and he would be right within a month
or so I became obsessed with this so
that was all I cared about I didn't want
all the I didn't believe I used to call
this hippie this is all hippie
I don't believe in it and you know
I meet the guy he does my blood work and
he lives in Miami I live in Vegas so he
keeps calling me saying you know I want
to come out and walk through your blood
work I said I don't care about walking
through my blood work when am I going to
die so he finally talks me into coming
out and he starts going through my blood
work and he starts telling me everything
that's wrong with me with no medical
history whatsoever on me so this is kind
of blowing me away then he told me what
was wrong with my parents and he was
right so basically he ended up getting
me and he says to me
uh give me 10 weeks
I promise I'll change your life so I
said all right I'll commit 10 weeks to
this thing and to say that this guy has
changed my life is the understatement of
of of the century I mean I as I got to
the 10-week point I started to feel like
I was in my 30s again and now I've been
with him a year and a half and I'm not
kidding you I feel like I'm in my 20s my
level of productivity at work my
cognitive my physical I mean just
everything this guy is a genius and I
tell everybody you know you know we you
start to get the stuff we were talking
about social media this guy's a scam
artist he's scamming you this and that
numbers don't lie this guy has taken my
blood work from absolutely horrible to
the best it's ever been in my life even
my doctors agree with it and and uh he's
he's brilliant if this guy called me and
told me to squirt hot sauce on my eyes
I'd do it well before I come to Gary
just quickly how long did he say you had
to live if he hadn't changed things he
yeah he gave me 10.4 years and what's
what's crazy about that is he gave me 10
points he said if you stay on this
trajectory that you're on you're going
to live another 10.4 years and me and my
wife both disagree with him I actually
think I wouldn't have made it 10.4 years
if I hadn't met him that's how different
I feel compared to where I was and you
know when you think of these things the
other big problem for me was sleep apnea
and snoring it was horrible I couldn't
sleep through the night and you go see a
doctor and what do they tell you to do
yeah put this mask on with this machine
and you know what I mean I don't snore
and I don't have sleep apnea anymore
he's cured everything that was wrong
with me let me bring in Gary so Gary I
mean that's one of the great marketing
pictures I've heard in in a very short
it absolutely is right in a short
nutshell what have you done today to
make him so enthusiastic and to in his
eyes prolong his life
I mean so Dana had a common precursor
for cardiovascular disease called
metabolic syndrome it's actually the
leading cause of cardiovascular disease
which is the leading cause of death
worldwide and it's a combination of of
five things abdominal obesity low
healthy cholesterol low HDL cholesterol
elevated insulin and blood sugar
elevated cholesterol and hypertension
and to have any two of those five is
considered to have meta you know you're
considered to have metabolic syndrome
something you should get addressed it's
why I think everybody should get data on
their bodies he had five of five
um he had triglycerides through the roof
he had abdominal obesity he had low
healthy levels of cholesterol he was
hyperinsulinemic meaning his insulin was
very high and he was um pre-diabetic and
so as much of a disaster as that sounds
like you know all of those things meet
at a common Hub of lifestyle and diet
and supplementation and you know a lot
of people talk about the expense that
you have have to go through to fix that
it wasn't that it was expensive it would
have been expensive if he had not fixed
it but over the course of just 10 weeks
you know we lowered his triglycerides
back into the normal range and we're
talking about triglyceride levels that
were eight times the normal level
um back into the normal range he started
exercising again he went on a keto reset
diet the majority of what Dana did was
really what Dana did himself I mean
there are people listening to this show
right now that because they don't have
abdominal obesity think that they can
escape metabolic syndrome and that's
patently false everybody that's
listening to this show right now you
should go to your doctor and get that
data ask your doctor about metabolic
syndrome and if they don't know what
metabolic syndrome is get a new doctor um
um
just quickly Gary what were the key
things that Dana changed in terms of
diet which made a big difference so we
did three thing big things with Dana we
did hormone balance we did nutrient
deficiencies and we did glycemic control
it controls blood sugar so he went on a strict
strict
um keto reset diet which is a very
strict I call it a prescription keto
diet meaning you have to eat exactly
what is on this plan morning noon and night
night
um for 10 weeks or this situation could
get a whole lot worse so we went on a
strict heat of diet he had a strict um
exercise and workout routine we also
started to use modalities that you can
access for free in nature but he
actually bought equipment he bought a
pemf mat he bought an oxygen it's called
hypermax where he breathes oxygen for 10
to 12 minutes a day while he mildly
exercises and he bought a red light bed
and before everybody jumps on me for
saying that you have to buy all this
expensive equipment you can get the same
effect by taking your shoes off and
grounding on the surface of the Earth
learning to do breath work and exposing
your skin to sunlight so he did
magnetism oxygen and light with a pmf
matte oxygen and a red light bed and he
went on a strict 10-week keto reset diet
it's fascinating I've got a I've got to
unfortunately wrap it up but it's
fascinating I don't know whether to see
you or not Gary because when I don't
want to hear is you look at me and go
appears unfortunately uh you're leaving
I can fix that and you know we'll push
it out a couple of thousand Tuesdays
it's been brilliant uh honestly I've
I've had such a fascinating time uh
going over your life your extraordinary
career your amazing achievement with UFC
my son's I started with isn't going to
end it they're all massive UFC fans
they're all very excited about this
interview the first question they're
going to ask is Dad how did you do did
Dana think you're any good that's all
they'll care about so what's the verdict
incredible great interview it was a
pleasure and uh tell your boys thank you
I really appreciate the support
I see what they really want to hear Dana
is can they have tickets to you next fight
fight
as well yeah they're invited to any
fights they ever want to come to
anywhere in the world you just let me
know and uh I got them well it's very
kind you're gonna wish you'd never said
those words but they will be jumping off
the sofa listening to that uh Dana White
you're a phenomenon uh the Ft piece I
referenced earlier the financial times
they summed up your great talent like
this they said he can transfer his
immense excitement to others with almost
no loss of energy it's the greatest
thing to watch in the world
uh to him he's not manipulating you he's
just an enthusiast
you're one of life's enthusiasts which
given where you came from and the
hardship you overcame and the lack of
love from your parents is a pretty
amazing achievement so I congratulate you
you
thank you I appreciate it how would you
like to be remembered you could write
that I said it many times we talked
about it here today the only thing I
care about is that my kids remember me
and uh what they think when I'm gone all
this other stuff means nothing to me
it's uh I I'm very fortunate that I get
to do what I love to do every day and I
still am very passionate about it
um but at the end of the day it's it's
all about how I how I was as a father
and what my kids think
I couldn't agree more Dana White what a
pleasure thank you very much indeed
