<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dana White 2021: Biography, Net Worth and Salary</h2>
Dana White has become a household name for fight fans. The UFC juggernaut went from a <a href="https://www.mensjournal.com/sports/what-you-didnt-know-about-dana-white/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bellboy</a> to one of the most aggressive, ruthless, and successful businessmen in the world. If White did not exist, there probably would not have been a UFC.

Even if it did, the company would not be as successful as it is today. Evidently, White played a key role in the UFC's success.

[caption id="attachment_452279" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-452279 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1128485707.jpg" alt="Dana White" width="1920" height="1278" /> LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 02: UFC President Dana White holds the UFC Legacy championship belt during the UFC 235 event at T-Mobile Arena on March 2, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images)[/caption]

White was born in Boston, but he did not stay there for long. After being threatened by a mobster for money, he moved to Las Vegas, where he purchased the UFC with the help of the Fertitta brothers [Lorenzo Fertitta and Frank Fertitta]. They bought the company for $2 million and installed White as the President.

The company thrives under White's leadership. The UFC's parent company bought out other promotions like Pride FC, WEC, and Strike Force. White owned a 9% stake in the company during the Zuffa era. Ultimately, the UFC was sold to Endeavor. However, White is still the President, and he owns a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-how-much-of-the-ufc-does-dana-white-own/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">significant</a> part of the UFC now.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dana White and Gambling</h2>
Besides promoting fights and hyping up fighters, White is a skilled gambler. The UFC president even got his <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/news/dana-white-too-successful-of-a-gambler-for-the-palms--told-to-cut-back-his-play-210509747.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gambling limits</a> reduced after winning too much at a Casino.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dana White: Net Worth and Salary 2021</h2>
As per <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/ceos/dana-white-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, the UFC President has an estimated net worth of <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/ceos/dana-white-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$500 million</a>. His salary is estimated to be at least $20 million per year.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dana White: House</h2>
The UFC President does not hold back in spending his hard-earned money and bought multiple houses in Las Vegas. Furthermore, he owns three houses in the Tournament Hills <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/housing/ufc-chief-dana-white-buys-3-homes-in-exclusive-las-vegas-area/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">enclave</a>.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dana White: Wife</h2>
The UFC President met his wife Anne when he was in <a href="https://www.distractify.com/p/dana-white-wife" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">eighth grade,</a> and the duo tied the knot in 1996. The UFC President prefers to keep his wife out of the spotlight for most of the time. They have three children together: Dana III, Aidan, and Savannah.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dana White: Controversies</h2>
Apart from his involvement with a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ftw/2018/10/30/whitey-bulgers-hired-muscle-once-tried-to-shake-down-dana-white-for-2500/38334987/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">mobster</a>, White has witnessed his fair share of controversies throughout his life. Fighters have often called him out for <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2020/07/ufc-fighter-pay-row-dana-white-jon-jones-narrative-changes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">not paying</a> them enough.

In 2012, an interview featuring Dana's mother, June White, went viral on the internet. White's mother revealed unbelievable details about her son, including how he turned on his family and became <em>"cruel"</em>. All of these details are mentioned in her book '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&amp;v=bF5Xsvj5dzI&amp;feature=emb_logo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dana White, King of MMA: An Unauthorized Biography</a>.'

In April 2020, White received <a href="https://au.sports.yahoo.com/ufc-249-dana-white-slammed-disgraceful-decision-231830473.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">criticism</a> for trying to resume the UFC amidst a global pandemic. Though his plans halted for a while, critics could not stop him for long.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dana White: Charity</h2>
As ruthless as he may be in his business tactics, Dana still has a heart. Throughout his life, he has made several charitable donations. He has <a href="https://www.livingmma.com/news/khabib-nurmagomedov-dana-white-each-donate-100k-to-dustin-poiriers-charity" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">donated</a> $100,000 to Dustin Poirier's charity.

White donated $50,000 for a <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2018/01/ufc-dana-white-donation-saves-thai-girl-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">liver transplant</a> to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai. Besides that, he gave $100,000 to his former <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/5-Things-You-Might-Not-Know-About-Dana-White-127657" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">high school</a>, and <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2736516-dana-white-ufc-donating-1-million-to-las-vegas-shooting-victims" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$1 million</a> to Las Vegas shooting victims.

On July 7,  2020, he started selling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z10i8jw4vnA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">UF-SEA</a> T-shirts to raise money for 'The Woodruff Family Foundation'.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as "Marty" because his coach could not pronounce his name properly.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and <a href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">became</a> the NCAA DII champion in 2010.

[caption id="attachment_531279" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-531279" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210129103911/Usman02.jpg" alt="Kamaru Usman at UFC 251" width="1920" height="1355" /> ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - JULY 12: Kamaru Usman of Nigeria celebrates after his victory over Jorge Masvidal in their UFC welterweight championship fight during the UFC 251 event at Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 12, 2020 on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of 2021, he is #5 in the UFC men's pound-for-pound <a href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rankings</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: UFC Career</h2>
After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF.

Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tyron Woodley</a> for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Colby Covington</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jorge Masvidal</a>.



He is scheduled to defend his title against Gilbert Burns on February 13, 2021, at UFC 258. He holds a record of <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/f1b2aa7853d1ed6e" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">12-0</a> in his UFC career.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style</h2>
On his feet, Usman is not the best striker. However, when he mixes in his takedowns, his striking becomes dangerous. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' may not have a crowd-pleasing style, but he dominates his opponents with his superior wrestling. He has a strong clinch game.

He is also one of the strongest welterweights on the planet. Besides that, very few people can match his pace of fighting. Usman's chain wrestling style is nearly unstoppable.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Achievements</h2>
Usman <a href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman">won</a> the NCAA DII bronze medal in 2008, silver in 2009, and gold in 2010. He <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2015/07/tuf-21-finale-results-kamaru-usman-taps-hayder-hassan-to-win-tuf-21-crown">won</a> TUF: 21 in 2015 and the UFC welterweight strap in 2019.

Usman has won one Fight of the Night bonus and one Performance of the Night bonus against Colby Covington. He holds a stellar record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Kamaru-Usman-120691">17-1-0</a> in his MMA career.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Net Worth and Salary 2021</h2>
