UFC President Dana White can be considered a notorious gambler in the sports betting world. Not only did he have placed MMA matches, but also Boxing White matches also wanted to try his luck. And with the huge fortune, the bet of UFC President is not small.
Recently on ESPN, Dana White recounted that he had lost $ 1 million because of betting a boxing match:
“What name is that kid? Ah, Jermain Taylor”, White laughed. “This puncher compared to a thin and tall guy from Ohio, Kelly Pavlik. I ordered $ 1 million for Taylor and he lost completely. This is the first time I bet up to $ 1 million because I completely believe that Taylor will win this match.”
The match between Jermain Taylor and Kelly Palik took place in 2007. The punch that White bet received the defeat of TKO in the seventh half. A year later, they removed and the victory still belonged to Kelly Palik.
“I like sports betting,” White admitted. “All sports on TV on Saturday, I want to bet.”
Another bold phase of Dana White occurred in 2019, when he spent $ 10 thousand betting on Mikey Gracia in the match against Errol Spence Jr.
However, in general, UFC president is still quite lucky in the game of red and black. In 2017, Dana White was even “invited” by a casino in Las Vegas.
A lot of money. The longtime commentator of UFC, Joe Rogan, also revealed that White is a “notorious” card player in the gambling world.
