UFC president Dana White is someone who has always promoted a healthy lifestyle. The 53-year-old believes that it is important to be mindful of what you are doing with your body. White learned these lessons the hard way. A few years ago, White was hardly concerned about staying fit. When he entered his fifties, the UFC boss felt that it was his age that was making him weak. However, soon afterward, the UFC boss realized that was not the case. He came to know that he would only live for ten years and four months after meeting Gary Brecka.

The information made White realize the importance of changing his lifestyle to a healthy one. Later, under proper guidance, White turned into a healthier version of himself. Now, many are inspired by Dana White for being perfectly fit in his fifties. British Sports promoter Eddie Hearn is one of them. The 44-year-old said that the UFC boss had his dream physique. The UFC president offered his help to Hearn, who had outlined his ambitions of staying fit.
