The bout between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev for the vacant light heavyweight title was delivered as promised. Although fans were disappointed not to see a winner in the match, the fight itself didn’t disappoint. The split draw left the light heavyweight title vacant in the main event of UFC 282. But the title cannot be left vacant for long and it is up to UFC President Dana White to make a fight. And, he may have a solution for the next title bout. The decision of the title fight even left Jan Blachowicz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jan-blachowicz/] in confusion. He declared that Magomed Ankalaev won the fight and that he should be made champion, much to Joe Rogan’s amusement. DANA WHITE MAKES A NEW TITLE BOUT The next in line for the title fight is the former light heavyweight champion, Glover Teixeira [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/glover-teixeira/]. The original title fight was between him and Jiri Prochazka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jiri-prochazka/] at the main event of UFC 283. However, the UFC boss is expected to give the title shot to Glover Teixeira as early as UFC 283 pay-per-view in Rio de Janeiro. Helen Yee was one of the first people to report the news. Texeira is expected to face Jamahal Hill for the vacant title. Jamahal Hill is on a three-fight win streak and will be looking to win the championship. DANA WHITE MAKES THE WISH COME TRUE UFC President Dana White has made the wish of the former light heavyweight champion come true. Glover Teixeira wanted to fight for the next light heavyweight title match. White made an ideal scenario for the Brazilian as he gets the bout in his native country. Teixeira will be looking to secure a win and become UFC light heavyweight champion for the second time.

White partially fulfilled Hill’s wish as he is about to get a match against Teixeira. UFC 282 [https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-282] was a belter and brought a fitting end to the calendar year. The pay-per-view event brought an exciting twist to the light heavyweight championship. The title is still up for grabs and it promises to have fireworks. Dana White brings Brazil’s former champion back to his country and supporters wish to see Teixeira being a champion once again. But will we see Jamahal Hill bring an end to this fairytale?

<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.

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>Jamahal Hill: Net Worth 2024, Record, Height, and Injury</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Jamahall Hill?</h2>
Jamahal Hill is a professional Mixed Martial Artist, currently signed to Dana White's UFC. He is a former UFC Light Heavyweight champion and even reached the top of the division rankings last year. Right now "Sweet Dreams" is coming off of an injury but that hasn't stopped the American fighter from trash-talking the current Light Heavyweight Champion, Alex Periera. But before we hasten into more details of the fight, let's take a look at Hill's childhood.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jamahal Hillâ€™s early lifeÂ </strong></h2>
Hill was born on Â April 20, 1991, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Now while it might seem that Hill was a bit of a late bloomer when it came to MMA and stepping into the octagon and stepping it up, his storied journey started as a young man when he discovered boxing and realized he had a penchant for close quarter fights.

And once it dawned upon him that he was rather good at winning those fights, he delved into the world of mixed martial arts, a sport that would truly be able to justify his god-given talent for violence.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jamahal Hillâ€™s partner and children</strong></h2>
The former UFC Light Heavyweight champion is rather active on social media, often posting memes, jokes, personal updates etc. He often posts pictures of his children and his mother, which allows the fans a true glimpse into his personal life. But that said, people have wondered if this man is in a relationship. Is he seeing someone?

Well yes, it turns out he is married. While he has yet to share any information about his wife, it is known that the two are hitched. Hill's personal life, his true personal life is a well-guarded secret and he has never attempted to make it otherwise. But we do have an idea about his net worth if that might interest you.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jamahal Hillâ€™s net worth 2024Â </strong></h2>
Hill's net worth is said to be around $1 million, as of 2024. This included his base pay, bonuses, endorsements, and other sponsorships. Of course, his biggest payday came when he defeated the legendary Glover Texeira in the main event of UFC 283 and billed the Dana White-led company a cheque of $382,000. Now, it might seem that Hill hasn't been around that long but that is a common misconception.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jamahal Hillâ€™sÂ  Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Hill made his MMA debut in 2017 and has been unmissable since then. His boxing background allows him to enter into striking contests on his feet, which he wins, courtesy of the weird and awkward angles he uses to attack. Hill's was first seen to the general MMA crowd during Dana White's Contender Series. He performed exceedingly well on that show and like many of his predecessors before him, found himself in possession of a UFCÂ  contract.

[caption id="attachment_1565703" align="alignnone" width="1"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-1565703" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1022620478h.jpg" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> MMA: UFC 283 - Teixeira vs Hill Jan 21, 2023 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Jamahal Hill blue gloves reacts after the fight against Glover Teixeira red gloves during UFC 283 at Jeunesse Arena. Rio de Janeiro Jeunesse Arena Brazil, EDITORIAL USE ONLY PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xJasonxdaxSilvax 20230122_szo_db3_0297[/caption]

Hill currently sits on a 4-match win streak, with the legendary Glover Texeira being the last giant to fall against him in the octagon via a unanimous decision. Prior to Texeira, Hill had defeated Thiago Santos with ground and pound, used his 6'4" height and insane reach to end Johny Walker with an overhead right in the first round. This would be his 2nd first-round KO, as he had previously finished Jimmy Crute with a brutal right hook.Â  But as great as the highs are, the lows have been worse for Hill- An injury that forced him to surrender his Light Heavyweight Championship title.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jamahal Hillâ€™s injury</strong></h2>
Before his fight with Jan Blachowicz, which would have been his first title defense, "Sweet Dreams" tore his Achilles tendon while training. Well, he was shooting some hoops, to be precise. By his own admission, Hill loves playing Basketball and has been doing it all his life. It's something he has often used for cardio practice and to cut weight. An Achilles tendon injury can happen in a lot of ways and it was a pure misfortune that Hill would fall for something he loved doing, right before defending the 205 lbs title at UFC 290.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1979803" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jamahal-Hill-upset-560x315.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="315" />

Now Achiless tendons take a very long time to heal and be functional the way you want, especially if you want to take Alex Pereira down to win his light heavyweight title, which has made many fans ask if the UFC has indeed rushed his return and are risking him getting another injury before the actual fight takes places on April 13. And even if he manages to walk into the octagon unscathed by doctor's reports, it's as certain as death and taxes that Poatoan will try and calf-kick his way to glory. So, all in all, Hill is about to get the fight of his life.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jamahal Hillâ€™s career stats and records</strong></h2>
Hill has a Pro-MMA career record of 12-1-0, 1 NC, and currently sits on a 4-match winning streak, 3 of which have come by the way of knockouts. Throughout his MMA career, he's had a striking accuracy of 53% and on average takes a little more than 7 minutes to finish a fight, whichever way it goes.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jamahal Hillâ€™s titles</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hill is a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, which he won he beat Glover Texeira for the vacant title at UFC 283. He's also the only fighter from Dana White's Contender series to actually win a title in the UFC. Before coming to the UFC, he had also held the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">KOP Light Heavyweight Championship.Â </span>

But enough about his titles, what about his social media presence? As mentioned before, Hil is quite active on various social media platforms.
