Dana White may miss UFC Vegas 105 to participate in a baccarat tournament in Las Vegas, where he has a chance to win $10 million.
Dana White might skip being cageside at UFC Vegas 105 this Saturday. Why? He’s got a shot at winning $10 million in a baccarat tournament in Las Vegas.
Late Friday, the UFC CEO took to Instagram. He shared that he’d been invited to the event with a $20,000 gift in promotional chips just for showing up. Oh, and there was a framed $1,000 bill from MGM Resorts—fancy, right?
White’s no newbie when it comes to big gambling escapades. Actually, he’s playing for less than he’s won before. Remember his epic baccarat streaks at Caesar’s Palace back in 2024?
“Caesars Palace … I clipped these guys for $1 million a night,” White spilled on the Full Send podcast. “I beat these guys for like $26 million, $27 million.”
Why does White love Caesars so much? He says it’s because they let high rollers like him keep playing and making bank. Other casinos have shut him down, but not Caesars. They even let him wager $350,000 per hand! Only a select few get that kind of treatment.
He once called Caesars “gangster” for the way they treat him. That’s high praise from the UFC boss.
So, while White’s throwing dice on April 5 and 6, UFC Vegas 105 will roll out Saturday night at the UFC APEX. Josh Emmett vs. Lerone Murphy headlines the main event. It’s gonna be wild!
