Dana White confirms his precarious health status

Many MMA fans might not know this but Dana White was an aspiring boxer back when he was struggling with his life and it appears that his boxing days might have come to haunt him now. The UFC CEO in his recent escapade with the media has confessed that he has been diagnosed with alleged black spots on his brain. According to the UFC CEO, it might not be that drastic but still he will have to stay vigilant.

“I used to box when I was younger. I went in, and I did one of those brain studies. I have black spots all over my brain from what I did. I wouldn’t take back one punch. Not one. The position that I’m in right here, right now, today, I wouldn’t take one punch back because I loved it that much,” said White. He further added, “And the doctors all talk about, “Somebody could die” – I got news for all the doctors. We’re all gonna die. How do you want to live your life? What do you love, and what are you passionate about.”

The UFC CEO is chill about the fact that he is suffering from the ailment. However, it appears that along with the water diet, White will have to focus on brain health as well. So what was it at UFC 306 that could have really given White a headache?
