If you ever want to read a perfect story on Ultimate Fight head honcho Dana White, CLICK HERE . Reporter Matt Youmans of THE LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL profiled a day in the life of the UFC prexy leading up to UFC 100 this Saturday Night in
Sin City, and the profile is very interesting.
 
So they start, just so you know, at 1:30 am. Where's Dana? At the Blackjack table, of course, betting
$10,000 to $25,000 per hand. The story reports:
 
"The only thing that's holding this business back right now, the reason we're not growing faster than we already are, is because there's not enough time in the day, and other people have to sleep. That's really our biggest enemy right now is time. I sleep probably three to six hours a night. The great thing about me is I don't require a lot of sleep. I don't like sleeping. It actually bothers me. I wake up a lot. I'm always thinking about what needs to be done."
 
White also opens up about his children, revealing:
 
"I don't care if I get home at 5 in the morning, I wake up two hours later and get the kids ready for school, eat breakfast and I drive them to school every day. My kids are my greatest accomplishment. People who don't have kids don't understand. There isn't anything you could ever buy or anything you could ever earn or anything you could ever do that's better than hanging out with your kids."
 
White, who the story claims is now worth $200 million, talks about his time away from his family:
 
"My family and my wife have become very used to it. They get it, they know. I get to do and they get to do a lot of great things because of what goes on at the UFC. Is it a negative that I'm not home all the time? Sure it is. But I could be a guy who's out working three jobs trying to make ends meet. You've got to look at positives, man, not the negatives."
 
Fascinating look at the man beyond UFC's explosive growth. This story gets our highest recommendation.
