Dana White gave people a taste of the life that building a sport from the ground up gives you.
The UFC president recently teamed up with Cooper Manning, the older brother of former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, who says he’s on a mission to find the best backyard in America.
It quickly became clear why the 48-year-old entrepreneur and TV personality decided to take a closer look at White’s back garden which is outfitted with pools, cabanas, a gym, spa and of a personal chef.
“What I was looking for here was that I wanted you to feel like you were in a resort,” White explained.
“You have the pools, there are cabanas everywhere, and on the other side, the other house, there is a gym and a spa.”
White’s pools are divided in such a way that it’s actually unclear how many he has. However, it quickly became clear that the 53-year-old isn’t using them all.
“We have swimming pools! So this pool here. We have another pool there, there is a lap pool in front of the gym,” he added.
“I’ve never been in the lap pool. I’m more into putting a raft in the pool and floating around than doing laps. But when I built the house, I had good intentions.
As they began grilling a tomahawk steak, Manning asked the MMA boss which of his fighters would throw the best barbecue.
“You would have to imagine Conor McGregor,” White replied.
“Conor McGregor doesn’t do anything half ****. Everything is on top. »
Although he thought his biggest star would throw one hell of a party, White wouldn’t invite the unpredictable Irishman to his house for a barbecue and instead named The Rock, Mario Lopez and Halle Berry as the three famous faces he would like in his garden. to party.
“My three invitations would probably be The Rock”
“Mario López. I love Mario Lopez. I was with him last night in Los Angeles, we went to fight together. And Halle Berry, my other girlfriend who was with me last night at the fights.
“What I would do is watch and eat whatever Halle eats. You know what I mean? Talk about someone who’s been on their game for a long time.
With or without the big-name guests, White’s house is truly epic.
The sports mogul’s luxurious residence is perfectly located in Las Vegas where he runs the UFC and apparently parties with the stars when he’s not working.
