UFC president Dana White is known for being a big risk taker with his ventures, whether that be UFC or Power Slap, but when he’s not conducting massive main events with millions of fight fans watching he’s also one that partakes in high stakes gambling.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, White will be the focus of a Netflix show that follows around the UFC CEO and president during his “wild gambling exploits” that sometimes involve him betting millions of dollars at a time.
White was recently featured on CBS’ 60 MInutes during a segment where they followed him around during his Las Vegas gambling adventures, including him winning over $700,000 during a private baccarat session.

The 56 year old reportedly has a net worth north of $500 million, and given that he lives in Las Vegas full time it’s only imaginable that the documentary will follow him around during his nightly exploits inside and outside of the UFC realm.
