Dana White: A Revealing Portrait from an Unexpected Source – His Mother

June White, the mother of UFC president Dana White, authored an unauthorized biography of her son in 2011, unveiling previously unknown aspects of his life. In “Dana White, King of MMA,” June explores Dana’s transformation from a caring son and amiable friend into an individual she describes as “egotistical, self-centered, arrogant, and cruel.”

The book delves into Dana’s childhood and how he morphed into a somewhat controversial figure after tasting success. June candidly discusses her son’s behavior, expressing her disdain for the disregard he shows towards other people’s emotions.

However, June didn’t stop at her son’s professional life. She even delved into Dana’s marital life, accusing him of infidelity. “His marriage is a joke,” she stated in a later interview, alleging that Dana had affairs with multiple ring girls and even his sister-in-law. “He goes after any girl he wants and usually gets them,” she added, accusing him of surpassing the infamous infidelity scandals of Tiger Woods.

June also revealed incidents of conflict between Dana and his wife, Anne White. She recounted an episode from their honeymoon when, according to her, Anne gave Dana “the worst black eye” she’d ever seen.

The marital discord isn’t merely a thing of the past, though. A recent incident on New Year’s Eve further stained Dana’s reputation. While vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Dana got into a physical altercation with Anne. A video that went viral showed Anne slapping Dana, who retaliated in kind. Onlookers quickly intervened, separating the couple before things escalated further.

The incident sparked a social media frenzy, with fans trolling the UFC president. In response, Dana appeared on TMZ, expressing his embarrassment and regret. “You’ve heard me say for years, there’s never, ever, an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman, and now here I am on TMZ talking about it…,” he said.

He took full responsibility for his actions and confessed that he and Anne had apologized to each other and discussed the incident with their children. Despite the many controversies, Dana and Anne have maintained their marriage for 26 years.

The revelations in June White’s book and Dana’s subsequent actions cast a spotlight on the lesser-known personal life of the MMA magnate. As always, the line between personal and professional remains blurry, and the audience continues to grapple with these dichotomous portrayals of Dana White.
