Dana White promises to stay with UFC several more years

Dana White, the long-standing UFC president, has assured fans that he has no plans to walk away from the promotion any time soon. Having been in charge for over 22 years, White has played a pivotal role in transforming the UFC into a multi-billion-pound company.

UFC's Incredible Transformation

Under the stewardship of White, along with the help of his long-time friends Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, the UFC has gone from a struggling entity to a multi-billion-pound powerhouse. This week, White was promoted to Chief Executive following the blockbuster merger between the UFC and WWE.

White Excited for the Future

Despite his new title, White plans to continue leading the company and exploring new opportunities for the sport. At 54 years old, he remains passionate about his role and has no intention of stepping down.

White said, "When you start talking about my time is up here, the last 20 years have gone by like this [clicks his finger and thumb]. How fast are the next 20 years gonna go? There is still a lot of work to do."

Merger Brings Greater Optimism

The merger between the UFC and WWE has given White even greater optimism for the future. He believes that this unified entity will have a significant impact on the sport and provide more opportunities for growth.

White stated, "After this merger, we're so much more powerful than we were yesterday. I'm excited about the future and what we're going to do."

Continued Involvement and Success

Despite his promotion to CEO, White will still be heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of the UFC, including match-making. He maintains that this is a lateral move for him and nothing has changed in terms of his authority and decision-making.

"Nothing changes. We're just going to continue to kick ass like we do every single year," White reassured fans.

Looking Ahead

With his new role and the merger, White is excited about the future and what it holds. He plans to accomplish all his goals before his time at the UFC comes to an end.

White concluded, "When you think about all the things that I wanna do before my time is up here, today made that a lot easier and a lot more doable."

The UFC will be resuming action this weekend with a special Noche card in Las Vegas to commemorate Mexican Independence Day.
