The UFC President, Dana White is one of the most noted faces of the promotion. The Irish-American carries a very easy-going personality and doesn’t shy away from cameras. White appears in a lot of podcasts and talk shows, which gains him humongous popularity, unlike other head-of-organizations. White‘s video segment, ‘F**kIt Friday’, is loved and viewed by millions of Instagram users. Fans also respect him for his vital single-handed efforts to revive the UFC back to its glory.

But, White‘s mother, June White‘s experiences might leave a different impression on the fans about the UFC boss. She narrated in her 2011 book, ‘Dana White, King of MMA: Dana White an unauthorized biography’ how White‘s character and behavior took a sharp shift as he tasted success. June White also regretted the fact that she had lost the “good son” and “true friend” she once had as White.

June White also laid stress on how White had always received backup from his family and friends in every situation. However, she also regretted the fact that White was too ungrateful to repay their favors once he tasted success.

She wrote, “Dana’s friends and family were always there to help and support him, no matter what the circumstances. As Dana’s success grew and the circumstances of life changed for him, he did not do the same for them.”

She further criticized White in a stern tone, writing, “Dana went from being a true friend, a good son, and a truly nice person to being a vindictive tyrant who lacks any feelings for how he treats others.”
