The biggest mixed martial arts promotion in the world, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is owned by Endeavor Group. Dana White is the current president as well as a shareholder of the UFC but he isn’t technically the owner of the MMA organization. Back when Dana White was a manager for Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.

White met Bob Meyrowitz, the owner of Semaphore Entertainment Group, the parent company of the UFC, and heard that Meyrowitz was looking to sell the organization. White went on to contact his childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta, a co-founder of Station Casinos, suggesting he acquire the company. That led to Lorenzo and his older brother Frank to pick up the UFC for $2 million back in 2001, installing Dana White as the company’s president.
