UFC CEO Dana White is one of the most influential people in sports, according to TIME, the once-popular news magazine that continues to hemorrhage subscribers both in print and online. That’s not exclusive to TIME, as many old school publications like LIFE and Spor illustrated also collapsed during the dawn of the digital age.
White is responsible for all things UFC, for better or worse, which includes a $7.7 billion broadcast deal with Paramount and a live event on the South Lawn of the White House. More impressive is that White was able to close both deals after this awful incident, which probably would have sank any other executive in sports.
Top 100 sports figures… what was the criteria? I like Amanda but top 100 sports figure seems a bit much but I could be wrong I guess.
Where’s Jake Paul?
He’s a crisis actor, now. Barely even does anything with the UFC anymore.
