Dana White isn’t going anywhere.

In 2019, Dana White announced that he had signed a seven-year extension to remain UFC President. With his deal potentially coming up in 2016, Dana was asked by Mike Bohn of MMAJunkie if he had signed any type of extension.

Dana confirmed he has been extended, revealing he’s signed a new five-year deal with the company to remain UFC CEO and President.

Dana has been UFC President since January 2001 when Lorenzo & Frank Fertitta purchased the promotion. UFC was sold to WME-IMG (Endeavor) in 2016. Endeavor merged with WWE to form TKO in 2023, putting WWE and UFC under the same umbrella.
