UFC director Dana White has gone through a lot, so we can watch his significant transformation in recent years. Based on tests that predicted he only had another 10 years to live, he completely changed his lifestyle, so he exercises more and, above all, fasts a lot, which obviously works for him. However, it appears that he may have damaged his brain permanently and now the question is how this will play out in the future.
Alas… Le Sy explains why Clash of the Stars ends with its tenth event
“I used to box when I was younger,” White told TIME magazine. “I recently went for tests and had a brain scan. What did it show? That I have black dots all over my brain from what I did. However, I definitely don’t regret it. I wouldn’t return it. Not one of those punches. I got to the position I’m in today because I loved boxing in the past. Doctors often talk about the fact that people could die as a result of combat sports. I may have news for them, but we all die eventually. Rather, it is about how we want to conceive of our life and live it. What do you love and what makes you truly passionate? People often ask me what I would say to my daughter if she came to me saying she wanted to fight. Do you think I would ban her? If she loved it, I couldn’t tell her. It’s up to her what she wants to do.’
Joe Rogan has spoken several times about the fact that the short boxing career is probably to blame for White’s tendency to bet and gamble so much. Allegedly, something changed in his brain, so now Dana has to watch himself a lot.
Dana is currently facing one of the most important tournaments in the history of the organization. The UFC 306 tournament will take place in The Sphere, a unique hall that should offer an unforgettable experience. So it’s no wonder that the UFC has collected the most money in history from entry fees. On the other hand, they reportedly invested over 20 million dollars in the whole event, so it is now waiting to see how well everything will go and possibly return.
