UFC President Dana White has undoubtedly taken the sport of MMA to levels that were once incomprehensible in the early 1990s.

What was once essentially a tough man competition with submissions is now backed by FOX and Reebok, and White’s efforts have arguably turned the UFC into a household name.

But for every success Dana White has had, there’s a controversy that follows. White is known for his brash and mercurial temper, and some of his behind-the-scenes dealings have tarnished both him and the UFC.

Let’s take a look back at the six biggest controversies in Dana White’s UFC career!

6. Dana White’s Mom Writes Tell-All Book About Son

Imagine your mother writing a book about how back of a person you are. Well, that’s exactly what June White did to her son, UFC President Dana White.

June wrote about Dana’s penchant for heavy gambling and womanizing, but perhaps the most damning evidence she produces is the way he treated his family after his ascent to fame and fortune. Dana’s mother says he skipped out on his grandmother’s funeral and had made promises to visit her in Florida prior to her passing.

June White says Dana never made that trip. The rest of the book seems like a bit of a mean-spirited campaign against him, but no one knows you better than your own mother.

One of the most surprising things about the recent back-and-forth shenanigans between the UFC and Conor McGregor is the fact that Dana White has so far remained so cool, calm, and collected, at least publicly anyway.

In fact, even though he’s called McGregor’s bluff by taking him off of the eagerly anticipated UFC 200 event in July, White has continued to praise the Irish superstar, calling him ‘a stud’ and insisting that there’s no bad blood between them.

That may be a first for the UFC president who’s never shied away from speaking his mind, and has had a long history of fiery public feuds with everyone from fighters to officials and rival promotions over the years.

It remains to be seen how long this new Zen-like version of Dana White will stay, but in the meantime, now seems like the perfect time to reminisce about some of the most infamous verbal outbursts from the man in the hot seat.
