Upon talking about it further, she added, “He would tell them, “I’ll bury you!” Dana has a very short fuse and it does not take a whole lot to set him off on a totally out-of-control tirade.” She further added how it was becoming exceedingly difficult for him to take no for an answer. Hence, his employees were bound to follow his orders strictly and provide results of his liking.
It is famously known that when people are trying to achieve something extraordinary, they often tend to lose sight of other important things in their life. Things like health, relationships, and even family at times, becomes secondary to them. And that is supposedly the case with Dana White, too.

She wrote in her book that she felt obligated to talk to her son about her worries. Moreover, she began to feel that he was not the same man he once was. “In an e-mail, I told my son that I wanted my old Dana back. I felt like aliens abducted my Dana and replaced him with this other person I really did not know.”
In response, the UFC president uttered a furious statement that, “Who the f**k do you think you are, talking to me like that? No one talks to me that way.”
