Of course, it hasn’t always been easy. While the UFC is currently flourishing in ways many couldn’t have imagined, it definitely wasn’t that way from the start. They had to face constant obstacles along the way and White has been there for the majority of those moments.

In a recent interview, White was asked about the most vulnerable moment he’s had in this role.

White reveals tough moment with UFC

“I don’t know if I ever felt vulnerable.

“But I always felt like we had momentum and traction.

“Was the timing right? That was the question for this thing.

“If I had to think of an era or period [where we were in trouble] it was before the Ultimate Fighter.

“We were $40million in the hole.”
