Dana White always makes headlines one way or the other. Be it announcing blockbuster fights or being on the receiving end of criticism, the UFC CEO keeps the limelight on himself. At the same time, he keeps his private affairs out of the spotlight. However, he recently opened up about the personal aspects of his life, especially about being a father.

The 54-year-old appeared in a recent podcast with Theo Von and discussed a plethora of subjects. He talked about his business, the relationships he made in his line of work (including the likes of Donald Trump), dealing with criticism, etc. Further, he also shed light on his parenting style, stating why he was stricter with his daughter than with his two sons.

In a recent episode of the podcast called ‘This Past Weekend’ with Theo Von, Dana White talked about his relationship with his children. It’s not often that we hear White talk about his children in public. However, in recent times, the public has gotten to know the tip of the iceberg about the family, as the 54-year-old seemed proud to talk about his children.

Dana White, along with his wife Anne White, has three children. The oldest two are boys, Dana White III and Aiden White, and the youngest is a girl, Savannah White. White claimed that he has certain rules for his daughter which he doesn’t for his sons, stating, “It’s tougher being a girl dad because I didn’t really give a s*** what the boys did. They could do whatever they want… she can’t do whatever she wants.” He explains the reason, stating, “As a dad you have to sort of oversee and protect your daughter more than you did your sons.”

It is not really a surprise seeing White being protective of his daughter, as he seems to love her a lot. Dana White is a massive name in the sport of MMA and has massive authority over it. This seems to be the case in his household. However, this doesn’t really seem to hamper his relations with his daughter.

The President of UFC seems to share a special bond with his youngest child as he posted a picture of her on his Instagram to celebrate National Daughter’s Day. The same goes for Savanah White, as she often posts about her father on her private Instagram page with adorable captions.

White’s daughter is currently a junior in high school and is soon to start college. However, Savannah White still posts pictures of her and her father claiming White to be her best friend. Though the family, apart from the UFC President, keeps a very private life, we can sometimes see glimpses of how adorable they are on social media.
