Dana White won a huge $1.2 million at a casino playing Blackjack before UFC 317.
White had just attended one of his Power Slap events, which was once again deemed a huge success.
The UFC president was then taking some down time in Las Vegas before the huge UFC 317 bill which was headlined by Ilia Topuria’s victory over Charles Oliveira.
He decided to take his time away from the rigours of combat sports and head Fountainbleau casino floor.
It was there where he gambled alongside friends and started to win with each hand he played.
White was up to a mammoth $1 million return from the table, but decided to continue going for a final hand.
At which point footage shows his true delight as he realised he had pocketed $1.2 million from his game at the table.
It drew a huge cheer from the crowd and White himself, who leapt up and fist pumped after landing the big money.
White has has a mixed record gambling throughout his time in the spotlight, including huge losses of $1 million and $3 million.
But on the other hand, he has also made some huge multi-figure earnings from Blackjack, including wins of up to $7 million.
And the UFC kingpin has even been urged to stay away from certain casinos due to his big successes.
He said: “It’s not that I’m banned from casinos, it’s just that they don’t want me to play there.
“They won’t give me the limits that I want and let me bet as much as I want because they don’t like to lose.
“The Palm has kicked me out of there twice, the Mirage, the Wynn will not let me play.
“The only places that will let me play in town are Ceasar’s Palace, the Bellagio and the Venetian, all of those guys take really big play.
“But if you are a big player and you come into town you’re insane not to play at Caesar’s Palace.”
White is earning big right now and is making splashes everywhere he goes.
His UFC brand is booming once again, with Topuria emerging as one of the biggest superstars on the same weekend.
A huge launch into boxing will also begin later this year having confirmed his new boxing league with Saudi chief Turki Alalshikh.
And he will promote arguably the biggest event of the year between pound-for-pound greats Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
