Dana White: ‘I Would Have Signed a 55-Year Deal’ as UFC President

Dana White is adamant in saying how much he loves being the UFC President.

Since 2001, White was brought on board to become the President of the UFC. Despite the organization having new owners in WME-IMG, White has kept his position and it doesn’t appear he’s giving that up any time soon.

During a recent appearance on “The Exchange,” White explained why he doesn’t want to leave his position. He even went as far as to say he’d sign a 55-year deal:

“I couldn’t do that (walk away). I’m in, man. I love this. I’m not going anywhere. Everybody keeps asking me, ‘You signed a five-year deal?’ I signed a five-year deal because you have to sign a deal. I would have signed a 55-year deal.

At the end of the day, it’s not like, oh, you have a five-year deal, you have to work for five years. Nobody can make you work. If I said (expletive) it; I’m done. I’m not going to do it anymore. I could get up and walk out of here right now. Nobody can make me work. So no matter what you sign, you’re either here because you want to be here or you’re not.”
