Celebrations can take many forms. And for Dana White, they land in the form of blackjack. But have you ever seen anyone giving away massive amounts of tokens while losing their hand in gambling? Well, be prepared to get shocked, because the UFC head honcho has just done it!

Following the events of Riyadh Season Noche UFC, Dana White returned to the gambling table. But there was a catch. Even though he lost about $2.3 million, the UFC CEO paid $20 thousand for Barstool reporter Robbie Fox’s wedding! Needless to say, this was indeed one of the most heartfelt acts that White has done. 

As the onlookers began murmuring and speculating the reason behind White’s generous gift, he said, “So, I told him, so he just engaged, got engaged to his girlfriend, and so he was like, ‘All the Barstool guys with money, you know’ all this s**t. And I said, ‘Well, how much is your wedding?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t know’. ‘How many people for your wedding?’ ‘We don’t know yet.’ I said, ‘I’m gonna pay for your f***ing wedding, tonight. Come.’”

No wonder Fox was left flabbergasted at the act. Not only did White’s generosity help the sports reporter, but it also bound him in a pact to become the best Power Slap reporter in the whole wide world. Fox later told on camera, “I’m shaking still. Crazy! Maybe, not maybe. That was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I’m about to be the number one Power Slap reporter in the world. In the world.”

This is the second time White has dropped a big announcement on Robbie Fox this week. A few days ago, while talking to ‘Robbie Barstool’ White casually dropped the hot news that Michael Chandler would not be fighting Conor McGregor next. The young reporter was visibly shocked at how White casually slipped in a colossal piece of information into their chat. Little did he know that ‘Uncle Dana’ had an even bigger move from him planned towards the end of the week.

If you have been following the world of mixed martial arts long enough, you must know about the UFC CEO’s attraction towards the gambling tables. But do you know about the time that made a multi-million dollar hole in his wallet?

Dana White loses millions while gambling

Dana White is quite an avid gambler. He has addressed this on various occasions. However, there was one instance that made him regret his decisions. During a conversation with Lex Fridman, the UFC head honcho revealed, “We start gambling, and I continue to drink, having a blast, I end up leaving and going home that night and I lost like 80 grand, right? So, I wake up the next morning and I’m like fu** those mo*** Got me for 80,000 last night. So, I’m at work the next day, and the host of the hotel calls me and says ‘Dana um, are you coming back? Do you still need the room…?’”

White claimed that he would indeed come back to get his money back. But he was about to get a massive shock. Following a brief silence, the voice on the other end said, “Dana you lost $3 million last night.”

The 55-year-old has massive decks of cash playing blackjack. There was another instance when he lost about $6 million. For a normal person, this amount can make or break someone’s life. But things were a bit different with White. Despite the losses, he seldom backs away from generously donating to those in need. Be it Dustin Poirier’s charity, Raul Rosas Jr.’s minivan, or Robbie Fox’s wedding, Dana White covers it all.
