UFC boss Dana White has some of the most expensive trade cards in the world, and his collection is worth more than $ 1 million.
Collecting collective objects are extremely popular with fans in the sports world, because it gives fans the chance to sometimes have a piece of history.
And just like many others, UFC boss Dana White is an avid collector of sports trade cards and last year the UFC even signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with TOPPS, which brought back UFC cards to the market.

Dana White shows off a mega collection of $ 1 million
Since closing a new deal with topps, White often opens UFC packages on its Instagram on Friday and then gives away cards to fans.
Not only that, but he was also involved in some fights of the Pack opening and even did one a few weeks ago during the International Fight Week.
During a recent live stream with the Nelk boys, the UFC boss showed some of the most expensive cards in his collection, which can be seen in his office at the UFC Performance Institute in Vegas.
“So I now started to become a card collector, so on the day you would place your cards somewhere in a safe, they have now built these safes where you can actually display them.
“That is a (Michael) Jordan Rookie card there, the refractor of Tom Brady, there are only seven that exist in the world. We have Tiger (Woods), Kobe (Bryant), I have two Puka (Nacua) cards, one here, one here, here.
“Either the Jordan Rookie or the Tom Brady card (are the most expensive). If Jordan has signed that card, it is worth $ 5 million. It is $ 400k without the signature (the total of all this) is more than $ 1 million,” he continued.
Ilia Topuria Trading Card Breaks Record for the most expensive UFC card ever
Although the White collection is worth more than $ 1 million, it did not show off with UFC cards in his display case.
After Ilia Topuria had beaten Charles Oliveira unconscious on UFC 317 on 28 June, he proved his UFC star power when a 1/1 Rookie card of his was sold for $ 101,000, the record broke for the most expensive UFC card ever.
