Whoever wrote the last paragraph left a bunch of grammatical fallout. There's missing punctuation marks and weird sentence structures. Someone want to fix it? (I'll fix some of it myself.) Also, some of it seems, *ahem*, unrelated. For example, some of the challenges detailed in the last paragraph don't seem pertinent to Dana White.
This article is not about the UFC or MMA. This is specifically about the person Dana White. This is also not a depository of quotes, for that there is Wikiquotes: Dana White. Quotes should be converted to a sentence format that pertains to Dana White's life before being placed in this article. Shawnc 17:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
"Ballet dancing" will be removed unless citation is provided. Shawnc 17:56, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Can anyone verify the authenticity of this photograph? This does not look like Dana White, and there should be far better publicity stills available than this overexposed action shot.

This really doesn't need to be it's own section on Dana's page. You might as well add onto this section like people add what they're doing on Twitter. The guy does something highly controversial every time a new UFC event comes out it seems. EvolutionarySleeper ( talk) 01:59, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm taking this section down since it isn't relevant. This is wikipedia, not a tabloid blog. Not to mention no one has responded in the talk section about this since I posted about it a month ago. EvolutionarySleeper ( talk) 04:49, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Dana White is an aggressive businessman, which perhaps has contributed to the success of the UFC, but it has also created enemies. Almost all of his major business transactions have involved "controversy", from negotiations with Fedor, Couture, Tito Ortiz, to the purchase of Pride, he likes to be verbally abusive and domineering. Many successful business leaders, athletes and media personalities behave this way. For example in sports: Don King, Terrell Owens, Lance Armstrong, in business: Donald Trump, Bill Gates, "Chainsaw" Al Dunlop, Jack Welch, in media: Mel Gibbson, Sean Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill O'Reilly, etc. I really don't think this incident is noteworthy, beyond what it says about his behavior in general. Thus, I changed the entire section. What do yall think? Lattefever ( talk) 18:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Lattefever

On the bottom of this page, it lists "1969 births". On the page, it says he's born in 1971. Whats the correct one. In an article done immediately after TUF 1 finale, it read he was 34 years old. The article was done approximately June of 2005 which leads you to believe he was born 1970-1971. In an article done after TUF 3 finale, it read he was 36 years old. This article was done mid 2006, which leads you to believe he was born in 1969-1970. Can anyone get an official date? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.82.34.35 ( talk) 04:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
From posts on the Underground Forum (UG), confirmed by Tito Ortiz and other persons who have first-hand knowledge of Dana, his birthdate is July 28th, 1969.

From WP:BLP:
“ | Editors should take particular care when considering whether inclusion of the names of private, living individuals who are not directly involved in an article's topic adds significant value. The presumption in favor of the privacy of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved persons without independent notability is correspondingly stronger. | ” |
I don't think naming White's kids adds anything of value, and it goes against WP:BLP's spirit to err on the side of privacy. I'll remove the names if there are no further objections. hateless 03:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
If you're going to take them off his page why don't you take them off everyone's page? I think the names are important and they're cited so why not put them on his page? The names of other people's children are on their pages!I'm just saying. ( MgTurtle 23:52, 19 October 2007 (UTC))
The names are listed in the cited source so Dana doesn't care if they're public and he legally owns his kids so they don't get a say. I think you're just trying to be a cunt and over rule Mr. White and say no, your children deserve privacy you bald, big-nosed cunt. But the source still has their fucking names in it so you've done nothing except make yourself feel good. Even without the names in the article, even if you found a different source, the names are still in the original interview. Dana will bring them up in other interviews, he will occasionally mention them on television, and whether his name is on wikipedia or not, people are going to at least ask, is Dana White III the son of the UFC guy?
By the way my son's name is Halim he is 7 and he likes pancakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Planetstasiak ( talk • contribs) 12:43, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Public Face of the UFC
In his role as president of the UFC, Dana White has been a prominent, charismatic, and sometimes controversial figure, engaging fans, fighters, media, and politicians as the public face of the organization. By any account, White has been at the helm of the sport's explosion of popularity in the United States and its continued expansion worldwide.
In his role as executive, he has taken an untraditional route, one which highlights his personal love of MMA as well as his raw, expressive personality. Far less filtered then the stereotypical CEO, White has a widespread reputation for saying what is on his mind, often with quick, profanity-laced remarks. In a interview with ESPN reporter Ryan Hockensmith, White was asked, "Let's say companies, big, mainstream corporations all over the world, start calling you. And let's say you have to start putting together board-room pitches and wearing suits and speaking to executives—aren't you going to have to clean up the language, the wardrobe…clean up you, basically?" And White replied: "God, I hope not. God, I f—ing hope not." [1] Rachelle Leah, host of UFC's All-Access series, said of her boss: "What you see is what you get with him. He doesn't keep anything away from anyone. There are certainly a lot of f-bombs flying around, though." [2] And White commented about his uncharacteristic persona:
I'm not your typical head of a sports league...I say exactly how I feel. I don't hide it. I don't lie. And I swear a lot. Some people think I'm a classless moron. Other people think I'm this monster that screws my fighters over. And other people like me. You can't make everybody happy. But you gotta understand too, in this business, I'm the promoter. My role is I'm always gonna be the fucking bad guy. No matter what I do. Or how many great things I do for people. Or how many fighters I make millionaires. Because if you're a fight promoter, and if you make a fucking dollar, you're a scumbag. You shouldn't get that money, the fighters should...I'm the bad guy. Always going to be the bad guy. I get it. I accept that role. I do the best I can.
White has not shied away from blunt or disparaging comments about competitors or contract disputes, sometimes leading him into public spats with fighters or organizations. These included a contentious feud with UFC hall-of-famer, Tito Ortiz [4] as well as business competitors like entrepreneur and Affliction co-founder Mark Cuban. Of his then business competitor White remarked: "[Cuban] really thinks he's going to beat me?... I eat, sleep, breathe and live mixed martial arts. I love this shit. It's what I do. But look, at the moment, this thing we have is still really pure. It's not all fucking dirty like boxing. I know that day is coming. And when it does, I'm gone. But I love a good fight and, seriously, I really do have secrets and reasons for the things I do. So he's never going to beat me. Never, ever. [5]
Personally, White has been described as a tough, charming, hard-working, business-savvy, deeply loyal person who responds with animus to those who cross him. ESPN reporter, Michael Woods recalled a particular scene in May of 2009 when White showed his intolerance for threats of betrayal:
White stops at his suite in the Palms for a shower and brief meeting before heading out to dinner. He is exuberant, both because the [MMA] event is shaping up and because he slept four solid hours last night. But his buzz is killed when his security guard jokes about writing a tell-all. The boss fails to get the joke.
- "Are you f--ing kidding me?" White spits. As he stands, his fists ball and pectorals bulge.
- "Sure," the man continues, thinking White is playing along. "What would you do about it?"
- "I'd sue you. I'd sue everyone around you, until you didn't have a f--ing dime to your name," White says with tightly controlled rage. As he abruptly turns to exit, the security guard slumps. [6]
Despite, or perhaps because of his dogged yet unpolished approach, White has remained at the forefront of the UFC's success.
I don't really see where this fits within the article. It's too interview-ish, and POV. The factual information (if any) would need to be distilled out first IMO.

Fixed his infobox up and added in a few more things like net worth, flagicon and occupation. I added in the section about his feud with M-1 Global, this is a huge part of his relationship with external organisations over the last 3 years. Also elaborated on charity work which is something he is frequently involved in. Updated his accomplishments section. -- Eidetic Man ( talk) 22:23, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
That entire section either needs to be re-written or completely scrapped. It is incredibly biased and not encyclopedia-material at all. Do we really need several text messages and statements like "Despite the fact that the majority of fighters in the world consider Fedor Emelianenko a true legend of MMA, or the greatest fighter of his time if not the greatest ever," in an encyclopedia article? It's obvious it was written by someone who was offended by Dana's comments about Fedor. It doesn't matter who you agree with between the two, you don't need to edit someone's Wikipedia article to make them look bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.0.20.55 ( talk) 21:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

I was wondering if there was any consensus of whether or not this needs it's own section. It seems that this could easily fit into the "Controversies" section. Have one sub-header for Loretta Hunt and another for M-1 Global. This way future controversies can be added under a common section, instead of each getting their own section. -Luckydevil713 ( talk) 02:27, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I feel that the article gives undue weight ( WP:UNDUE) to the controversy sections. Dana is a pretty straight-forward guy, so a lot of his comments may be deemed offensive to some people, but I don't think that putting an indiscriminate collection of information is useful here. The controversy section does not help us learn more about Dana White. I'll wait a few days for a reply. Best, ComputerJA ( talk) 00:42, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Added by an anonymous reader 12/2012: There's almost nothing in here about Dana's life? The article omits 90% of his past. What about the book his mother wrote on his life? “Dana’s fans love him and think he rocks for what he has done with the UFC and MMA,” she wrote “I’m sure that will not change for him, but I am tired of stories about his life that aren’t anywhere near the truth. Dana was very loved and cared for growing up, and he was a sweet, loving, and special little boy. When he got older, Dana was a good friend to many people and a good son for many years. What changed him, I can only wonder. I am just disappointed in my son, my only son, my oldest child, the President of the UFC, the King of MMA.” Some consideration should be paid to what his family is saying and his history or we should simply boil every other person that has a Wikipedia page down to this brief Dana White template. The page is negligent in the way of information to say the least.

Public Face of the UFC
In his role as president of the UFC, Dana White has been a prominent, charismatic, and sometimes controversial figure, engaging fans, fighters, media, and politicians as the public face of the organization. By any account, White has been at the helm of the sport's explosion of popularity in the United States and its continued expansion worldwide.

I was wondering if there was any consensus of whether or not this needs it's own section. It seems that this could easily fit into the "Controversies" section. Have one sub-header for Loretta Hunt and another for M-1 Global. This way future controversies can be added under a common section, instead of each getting their own section. -Luckydevil713 ( talk) 02:27, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone have verification of what his background is? I've read half-Chinese, and Jewish - as well as others, but I cannot find any reputable sources.

So you know a lot of rednecks from Connecticut who are worth over $100 million? Anyway, judging by his name, appearance, and birth place, my guess would be that he's mostly Irish or English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheyCallMeTheEditor ( talk • contribs) 02:56, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I feel that the article gives undue weight ( WP:UNDUE) to the controversy sections. Dana is a pretty straight-forward guy, so a lot of his comments may be deemed offensive to some people, but I don't think that putting an indiscriminate collection of information is useful here. The controversy section does not help us learn more about Dana White. I'll wait a few days for a reply. Best, ComputerJA ( talk) 00:42, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
How come this article doesn't include information on his feud with Tito Ortiz or cover his work in turning around the UFC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.135.124.155 ( talk) 21:50, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Added by an anonymous reader 12/2012: There's almost nothing in here about Dana's life? The article omits 90% of his past. What about the book his mother wrote on his life? “Dana’s fans love him and think he rocks for what he has done with the UFC and MMA,” she wrote “I’m sure that will not change for him, but I am tired of stories about his life that aren’t anywhere near the truth. Dana was very loved and cared for growing up, and he was a sweet, loving, and special little boy. When he got older, Dana was a good friend to many people and a good son for many years. What changed him, I can only wonder. I am just disappointed in my son, my only son, my oldest child, the President of the UFC, the King of MMA.” Some consideration should be paid to what his family is saying and his history or we should simply boil every other person that has a Wikipedia page down to this brief Dana White template. The page is negligent in the way of information to say the least.
Does anyone know what Dana's amateur boxing record was? 0=0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.148.66 ( talk) 08:09, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
The reference did not mention that Dana White is an Atheist.

I would think that his hatred of Steve Mazzagatti would be in here under feuds. Vyselink ( talk) 06:50, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
There needs to be more to this to warrant inclusion than just some claimed anecdote related by White in a Fox Sports item. At the very least it should be condensed into a single half-line sentence JohndanR ( talk) 16:54, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Change "16th-century Japanese Katana" to "17th-century Japanese Katana". In the television show to which this passage refers, the restorer states, "This sword was made in the early 1600s", placing it in the 17th century. 73.94.206.241 ( talk) 20:40, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
