Dana White
This really needs no introduction. The UFC is the largest organisation in MMA and it was essentially responsible for the explosion in the sport’s popularity in the mid-2000s.
Dana White has been the face of the organisation for well over a decade in his capacity as UFC President.
When it comes to dealing with media inquiries, chances are White is answering the questions. When it comes to travelling and promoting the growing number of UFC events at the ever expanding number of event locations, chances are White will be running press conferences and mingling with relevant figures.
His demeanour has made him a divisive figure among MMA fans and critics. Some dislike him because of his seemingly brash approach while others admire his unconventional nature in the context of his executive role.
Whatever your view may be, the fact is that Dana White is highly influential in how the UFC is run, which makes him one of the sport’s most powerful men.
