Dana White insists that he will never retire from fighting promotion.
The 55-year-old helped in changing mixed martial arts of a 'human rooster fight' from a nichesport by some to a mega-money company that is worth billions of dollars.
While the greatest hunters of all time come and go, Dana White always remains present in the forefront of MMA's Premier League after more than two decades in his UFC boss performance.
If the Meta board member gets his wish, he will continue in the track until the day he dies.

Dana White insists that he will never retire
White is supposed to have hundreds of millions in the bank. After the UFC was sold for $ 4 billion in 2016, he could have sailed into the sunset and spent his days with cocktails on a beach.
Nine years later he still travels the whole world to promote large UFC fights. This weekend there will be no other way, as he expected in Sydney, Australia for UFC 312, as a result of which Dricus du Plessis and Zhang Weili will defend their respective world titles in the top two fights.
“Everyone changes when you earn a lot of money,” White told Tucker Carlson.
“It doesn't matter which walk of life you are, once you are at a certain level of success, you have to be a certain type of person to stay hungry and go out and fight every day.
“When we sold in 2016, 99 percent of the people said I was retired and walked away. I am not wired that way.
“I am still looking for new brands and do S – that I don't have to do. But I do it because I love it. Do you know how many people in a sale like mine in 2016, you never see that guy again? They are ready.
“I will never retire. Ever. I will continue to chase this until the day I drop. I think it's great, 100 percent. “
