People may know UFC president Dana White as a hard-hitting combat sports promoter. He is one of the busiest individuals in the sport of MMA. However, he always puts his family first. On one occasion, White heroically saved his daughter from an attack by a dog at UFC 192. The main event that night involved the battle between Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson for the light heavyweight title. DC emerged victorious in that bout winning a split decision win over the Swedish fighter. Moreover, the UFC boss, Dana White, was watching the fight when he received a phone call from his wife.

Dana White had to leave the Cormier vs Gustafsson fight after receiving a phone call from his wife. She informed him that the family dog had attacked his 9-year-old daughter. His wife, Anne White, also mentioned that the dog had bitten his daughter’s ear off after she declined to give up the ice cream she was having.

Dana White proceeded to take the medical assistance of a UFC doctor to help his daughter. He said, “I grab Doc D, one of the doctors, for the UFC. He gets on the phone and calls Las Vegas. The first thing he did instead of trying to set up a doctor, he said ‘I don’t wanna doctor, I want a plastic surgeon.” Dana White claimed that he had to wait an hour and a half before the doctor arrived.

Things got better after the doctor’s arrival. “When the plastic surgeon came and put her ear back on and then fixed the ear this way, sewed it back together. My daughter’s ear looks unbelievable.
