Dana White has been named 1 of 49 Top Influential Men of 2008 from Askmen.com. He places as a solid #14 out of 49 others. So why #14?
Dana White can take credit for UFC’s incredible upswing. After a record $220 million in 2006 television orders, UFC is more popular than wrestling and boxing pay-per-view events. This popularity will increase with 2008 sponsorship deals with guy-friendly advertisers Harley Davidson and Bud Light.
Dana seems like a really cool guy because he doesn’t beat around the bush and actually has feelings unlike most millionaire celebrities. He just doesn’t sit in some office and watch the money come rolling in. He participates and goes out there and makes his presence in the UFC. I’m sure he can be an asshole at times just as much as anyone can, but he seems to be a pretty genuine person and that’s a rare thing with big names.
