Unfortunately, things didn't work out for him at the time, which led White to the path of mixed martial arts. He was able to make it an incredible success and produce numerous stars during this time.

Unfortunately, he was also heavily criticized for paying fighters. A shining example of this is the Francis Ngannou affair, where “The Predator” reportedly earned millions in boxing compared to when he fought for the UFC. When asked about the life-changing money Ngannou made in a recent interview, Dana had this to say.
