Not too long ago, Dana White was told by one of his doctors that he had only a decade left to live, and that came as a crushing blow to the UFC CEO. However, the 54-year-old got into tremendous shape and looked absolutely ripped as he got his lifestyle back together. Regardless, it seems like he may have symptoms of yet another health scare.

Dana White was nowhere to be found during the UFC 301 PPV, and his duties were taken over by UFC executive David Shaw. But later, he made an appearance on the 3-hour-long Netflix special ‘The Roast of Tom Brady, where something wrong came to the attention of Netizens.

The UFC CEO was accompanied by bantamweight kingpin Sean O’Malley and BMF champion Max Holloway at the roast on Netflix. However, it was only Dana White who had the chance to speak on the mic for just 60 seconds. Apparently, he was not happy about only getting a minute’s time and vented off his frustration, although, in a light-hearted manner. A video clip of this instance was shared on social media when a fan noticed that White’s hands were shaking when he was holding the microphone.

After witnessing the clip, one fan asked, “Anyone notice Dana’s mic holding hand shakes and has to grab it with the other hand. Just me?”  Another fan reasoned that it could be some kind of medical problem or it could just be the UFC CEO’s nervousness because he was trying to make the audience laugh with his own jokes.

Did White escape certain death?

After Dana White found out about his dire medical problems, he took the help of Dr. Gary Brecka‘s 10x Health Systems. Since then, the UFC CEO has always maintained a ketogenic diet, which turned out to be a vital decision in improving his leg pain situation and his sleep apnea, something that longtime commentator Joe Rogan also went through.

As the months went by, Dana White became as ripped as someone in their 50s can be. His health journey consists of getting cold plunges, oxygen therapy, and red light therapy, which he talked about in a YouTube video posted on the UFC’s channel. These kinds of therapies have helped him release a lot of the bodily tension he has dealt with before.
