UFC President Dana White has led the company from scratch to become the multi-billion dollar organization it is today. The UFC has become a household name and is the premium combat sports company in the world. Due to his shenanigans with the UFC, Dana has become one of the most well-reputed martial arts company heads.
In a recent interview, he opened up about his plans to own one of the world’s most famous hockey teams.
Dana White on owning the Golden Knights
Dana White has got to be one of the most successful businessmen in the USA. In an interview recently given to one of the most famous comedians in the world, he opened up about the time when he could have owned the famous NHL team, the Golden Knights. He made an appearance on the famous show Flagrant. White said,
I didn’t really get the hockey thing in Vegas. I didn’t see it coming, I could have invested in that.
Dana White made it clear that a few years back, he had a chance to own the famous Golden Knights team in Las Vegas but did not. He believed that Hockey wouldn’t get big in Sin City. The Golden Knights went on to become one of the biggest franchises in terms of net worth in the NHL and one of the most famous ones, as it acquired some major national championships in the NHL.
It seems that as good a businessman as Dana White is, he still made the wrong choice when it came to the Golden Knights. If White had invested in the team, he would have been a few million dollars richer in the UFC. It will be interesting to see if White gets into hockey now or if the ship has sailed for the millionaire. He already partly owns the UFC and the Powerslap competition, and will the UFC be able to partner with the NHL anytime soon?
