UFC president Dana White is seemingly in tune with the wants and needs of combat sports fans and the 50-year-old business tycoon has never hesitated to throw up a surprise in the UFC. Be it a cross-promotion fight in 2017 (Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather), or hosting live events amid a global pandemic, UFC president Dana White has always kept fans on their toes. Though he has often been criticised by various celebrities, Dana White seemingly pays little attention to what his critics have to say about him. White has always been vocal about the trust he has on his employees, and he often surprises them with unexpected stunts. The UFC president recently gave the MMA fans a good laugh as he went on to videobomb journalist Laura Sanko.
