Dana White isn’t just the CEO of UFC, he’s also a self-described degenerate gambler. And while his epic stories of big wins at high stake tables often make the rounds, his losses are less publicized.
According to a story from Casino.org, sources have told the outlet that White currently owes the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas.
“The source added it’s possible, though not confirmed, the UFC boss owes the Las Vegas-based casino operator as much as $50 million for credit extended to him so that he could play high-limit baccarat and blackjack at the Red Rock Casino Resort in Summerlin, Nevada,” they reported.
That may be a ruinous amount of money for anyone else, but it’s just another week for White, who regularly makes headlines and generates social media buzz for his gambling exploits. Just a few weeks ago Dana was in the news for handing out $1000 chips to fans.
White has even joked about the time he got ‘blackout drunk’ and woke up with a $3 million gambling debt to pay off. Ha ha! What a lark!
But $25 million … that’s a lot to lose, even for someone worth over half a billion dollars! Unless you can dig into your significant winnings like White can. According to the UFC boss, he ’clipped’ Caesar’s Palace for $26 or $27 million over the course of two months in early 2024 playing $350,000 hands.
We doubt White will be getting too many rude phone calls regarding any debt with Red Rocks. He happens to know the Chairman and CEO (and former UFC owner), Frank Fertitta.
