Sean Strickland has now been officially dethroned as the champion. He went five whole rounds against Dricus Du Plessis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dricus-du-plessis/] at UFC 297 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ufc-297-sean-strickland-vs-dricus-du-plessis/]. It was a close contest and quite a tough one to score. Many fans had distinct scoring cards and different victors. In any case, these opinions will be prolonged for the next couple of days. However, there is one notable personality who weighed in on the decision. Dana White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/], President of the UFC revealed how he scored the contest. His response also pleased Strickland enough to re-post it on his Instagram story. Find out all that went down. WHO IS THE WINNER IN THE EYES OF DANA WHITE? According to White, the fight was quite competitive. He had it even going into the fifth round. And he felt Strickland had done enough to win the fifth so he scored it for the former champion. He stated, “I had it 2-2 going into the last round. I thought Strickland won the last round.” The same was posted on his Instagram story [https://www.instagram.com/stories/stricklandmma/3285009845223393244/]. In another Instagram story, he appears to be quite emotional with his girlfriend and states, “The headbutt, kind of f*cking sucked. But hey, life is good. Onto next, thank you everybody.” It is intriguing to see how Strickland takes this loss and comes back again for a potential rematch. But for now, he does not seem to be in his best mood and thinks he has done enough to win the contest. However, let’s take a closer look at his head butt allegation. A HEAD-BUTTING ALLEGATION BY STRICKLAND According to Strickland, he was head-butted in the fight by the South African which made it hard for him to see. On. X revealed that was a paramount factor but he looks forward to what lies ahead of him [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-sean-stricklands-headbutt-claim-slammed-shut-by-dricus-du-plessis-in-a-confession-after-ufc-297/]. He stated, “ “Well f*ck haha… man that headbutt made it difficult to see but I thought we got the job done. Blood and all!!! Onto the next one!!! Thanks to everyone who supported me!!!!!!” However, the champion denies any such claims.

Moreover, what matters is that the middleweight division looks exciting. But we are curious to know, what you think of this entire episode.

Sean Strickland is quite upset over his loss but finds himself in agreement with Dana White about this assessment.

“Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion,” this is
precisely the motto of my life and it was said by none other than the legend
that inspires me the most - Muhammad Ali. I am a boxing author at
EssentiallySports. My love for the 'Sweet Science’, came about after Conor
McGregor crossed sports and ventured into boxing to face Floyd Mayweather. Apart
from the nitty-gritty of the sport, I am equally captivated and entertained by
off-the-ring rivalry and incidental shenanigans. Among the ones from the younger
generation, my heart races every time Canelo Alvarez makes his walk. At
EssentiallySports, I have over 600 articles to my name, covering off-court drama
and live reporting. When I am not watching two combatants exchange punches, I
like to play guitar and cricket.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White: Net Worth 2024, Salary, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Dana White? </strong></h2>
Dana Frederick White Jr. is a name that every MMA fanatic knows. From running away from mobsters to running the biggest MMA promotion in the world, White has come a long way. An organization he and his friend Lorenzo Fertitta bought for $2 million, now stands at nearly $7-8 million.

He played an instrumental role in making the UFC the household brand it is today. He started his career as a bouncer and climbed the ladder to become one of the most successful businesspeople worldwide. His business acumen, shrewd tactics, and eye for opportunities eased UFC's path to establish itself as the biggest MMA promotion.

As of 2024, he works as the President of UFC, a position he has held since 2001.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's early lifeÂ </b></h2>
Born on July 28, 1969, White spent his early childhood in Ware, Massachusetts. The 53-year-old spent his youth switching bases between Las Vegas and Maine. White initially attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he first encountered Lorenzo Fertitta. However, he got kicked out twice and finally graduated from Hermon High School in Maine in 1987.

</figcaption></figure>
White dropped out of college twice and juggled various jobs, including laying asphalt, a bouncer at an Irish bar, and as a bellhop at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Ever interested in combat sports, White picked up a pair of boxing gloves at 17 and initially dreamt of pursuing a professional career. However, he soon dropped the idea after witnessing a punch drunk boxer (someone suffering from Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease linked to head trauma injury)Â and feared the same outcome for himself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's parents</b></h2>
Dana White was born to June and Dana White Sr. and traces his roots as an Irish American. While much is not known about his father, he and his sister Kelly mostly grew up under the care of his mother and grandparents. His mother was a nurse by profession and their move to Vegas was in pursuit of a better livelihood.

In 2011, June released the unauthorized autobiography of the UFC lynchpin- 'Dana White, King of MMA'. She shockingly revealed that her sonÂ <em>"had turned his back on his family and friends who were there for home when he needed help and support".</em>

Similarly,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eMp_rWgjc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 2011 interview,</a>Â she said,Â <em>"He's not a good person. He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's wife and children</b></h2>
UFC President is married to Anne, whom he met in eighth grade, and the duo tied the knot in 1996. The couple is blessed with three children, two sons- Dana III, Aidan, and one daughter Savannah.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is Dana White's net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dana White has a net worth of $500 million. Further, he collects an estimated $20 million salary annually.

Apart from this, he also owns "Power Slap," alongside ventures inside the UFC like "Dana White's Contender Series." This surely helps him bank quite a sum, alongside his occasional big wins in gambling. For instance, he once won nearly $7 million in a single night at a Las Vegas Casino.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Is Dana White the owner of UFC?</strong></h2>
While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.

<p id="node---34197-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-unbelievable-wwes-high-profile-sale-to-ufcs-parent-company-made-jim-ross-scared-because-of-one-particular-reason/" target="_self" rel="noopener">announced a merger with WWE</a> to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million.

In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a "<em>broken business</em>" in 2022.

Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation</strong></h2>
Over the last few years, Dana White's health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left.

He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White.

He would soon make <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-why-did-dana-white-lose-so-much-weight-real-reason-behind-86-hour-water-fast-carried-out-by-the-ufc-ceo/">massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets</a>. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn't help but share it with the world.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-1914362 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/NINTCHDBPICT000765320323-380x315.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="315" />

Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world's biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements</strong></h2>
A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3>Power Slap</h3>
</li>
</ul>
White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3><strong>Throw One</strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,-
<ul style="list-style-type: circle">
 	<li data-sourcepos="6:5-6:88"><strong>Power Slap:</strong> The controversial slap-fighting organization.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="7:5-7:53"><strong>Ridiculousness:</strong>Â A popular comedy clip show.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="8:5-8:75"><strong>Street League Skateboarding:</strong>Â A professional skateboarding league.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="9:5-9:62"><strong>Nitro Circus:</strong> A live-action stunt performance group.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="10:5-10:64"><strong>Travis Pastrana's NRX Rallycar:</strong>Â A rally racing series.</li>
</ul>
White's involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana White's awards and accomplishments</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Armed Forces Foundation - Patriot Award (2009)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">World MMA Awards - Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Wrestling Observer Newsletter - Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Other accomplishments - Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009)</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's foundation and charity</b></h2>
The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dustin Poirier</a>'s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai.

Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s house</strong></h2>
The UFC head's first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul <b>Frank Fertitta </b>for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion.

The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection</strong></h2>
Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a 'rusted out Datsun B210.' Here are some of his prized possessions-
<ul>
 	<li>A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company</li>
 	<li>Ducati and a MV Agusta F4</li>
 	<li>A classic red Ferrari Testarossa</li>
 	<li>A black Ferrari Spider F430</li>
 	<li>1971 Plymouth Barracuda</li>
 	<li>BMW M6 Gran Coupe</li>
</ul>
Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6.

Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise.

And the pair appointed White as the President.  via Getty In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â announced a merger with WWE to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million. In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a &#8220;broken business&#8221; in 2022. Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer. Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation Over the last few years, Dana White&#8217;s health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left. He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White. He would soon make massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn&#8217;t help but share it with the world. Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world&#8217;s biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul. Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-  Power Slap  White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.  Throw One  It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,- Power Slap: The controversial slap-fighting organization. Ridiculousness:Â A popular comedy clip show. Street League Skateboarding:Â A professional skateboarding league. Nitro Circus: A live-action stunt performance group. Travis Pastrana&#8217;s NRX Rallycar:Â A rally racing series. White&#8217;s involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC. Dana White&#8217;s awards and accomplishments Armed Forces Foundation &#8211; Patriot Award (2009) World MMA Awards &#8211; Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23) Wrestling Observer Newsletter &#8211; Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16) Other accomplishments &#8211; Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009) Dana White&#8217;s foundation and charity The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ Dustin Poirier&#8216;s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai. Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims. Dana Whiteâ€™s house The UFC head&#8217;s first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul Frank Fertitta for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion. The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king. Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a &#8216;rusted out Datsun B210.&#8217; Here are some of his prized possessions- A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company Ducati and a MV Agusta F4 A classic red Ferrari Testarossa A black Ferrari Spider F430 1971 Plymouth Barracuda BMW M6 Gran Coupe Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6. Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise. How to contact Dana White?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dricus Du Plessis: Net Worth 2024, Record, Girlfriend, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Dricus Du Plessis?Â </strong></h2>
<strong>Dricus du Plessis</strong>Â is a surging contender who is rising in ranks since making his promotional debut againstÂ <strong>Markus Perez</strong> in 2020. The UFC star has put the middleweight division on alert with his knack for finishes and his well-rounded combat skills. His lethal punches and sudden ascendance even caught the attention of the former champion, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/israel-adesanya/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Israel Adesanya</strong></a>. He is enjoying his time as the current UFC Middleweight Champion and the first South African to win a UFC championship.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dricus Du Plessis' Early LifeÂ </strong></h2>
The Team CIT MMA gym representative got involved with combat sports at the age of 5 when he picked up judo and then wrestling. He eventually shifted to kickboxing at 14 and then became a WAKO World Champion in K-1.

'Stillknocks' has mentioned in the past that his aim had always been to perfect the combination of stand-up and ground game. He wants to dominate these styles individually. He always had the dream of becoming a professional MMA fighter. Besides, the scarce earning opportunities in kickboxing also pushed him to switch to MMA.

Du Plessis attended the University of Pretoria, where he studied agricultural economics as he fought under the banner of the EFC. But he dropped out during the final year to realize and fully commit to his dream of pursuing a career in MMA.

[caption id="attachment_2506314" align="aligncenter" width="950"]<img class="wp-image-2506314 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-92-1-e1723967827932.jpg" alt="Dricus du Plessis" width="950" height="660" /> Image Credits: Imago[/caption]

Notably, the former kickboxer made his professional debut at 19 for EFC and went 4-0 before meeting UFC veteranÂ <strong>Garreth McLellanÂ </strong>for the middleweight championship. But, he suffered his first MMA loss and then later on moved to welterweight. Following this, he clinched the welterweight title againstÂ <strong>Martin van Staden</strong>Â at EFC Africa 50. Subsequently, he also won the middleweight title the next year.

His tremendous success also followed in KSW as he sat at the top of the welterweight division. Du Plessis has left the imprints of a champion wherever he fought, and the UFC has been no exception to that.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dricus Du Plessis' Girlfriend</strong></h2>
We now know that <strong>Vasti Spiller</strong> is his current partner, according to the UFC Embedded series. As per Spiller's 46k-follower Instagram account, she works as a boxing coach at CIT Boxing Studio in South Africa. In addition, she has a photographic company called Baruch Photographic. She represents the B Loved Foundation, a nonprofit that helps individuals in need.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dricus Du Plessis' Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
As of 2024, the 30-year-old's net worth is reported to be between $1 million-$5 million, according to multiple sources. People Ai listed his net worth as $2.25 million. The MMA fighter, who prefers to keep his details concealed, hasn't revealed his exact estimates to the public. The primary sources of his revenue include paychecks collected from fighting inside Octagon, bonuses, and endorsement deals.

The fighter is said to be withdrawing an amount of $300,000 per fight in the form of a base salary. As per MMA Salaries, he took home $300,000 for just showing up in his last clash against Sean Strickland while also earning some extra amount in the form of bonuses for winning the clash.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dricus Du Plessis' Career Timeline</strong></h2>
The Hatfield native holds an impressive record of 7-0 in the UFC, and five victories came via stoppage. He has eased past the likes of <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/darren-till/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Darren Till</strong></a>Â at UFC 282 andÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derek-brunson/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Derek Brunson</strong></a> at UFC 285. Moreover, he has also defeated former champ <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/robert-whittaker/"><strong>Robert Whittaker</strong></a> at UFC 290. He dominated the fight against <strong>Brad Tavares at UFC 276</strong>, one of his only fights that went the distance.

On the heels of those spectacular wins, the 21-2 record holder has found himself on the way to becoming a legend in the division.

His last defeat dates back to 2018, when he dropped the fight against <strong>Roberto Soldic</strong> and, as a result, also lost his KSW welterweight title.
