“I’m glad Mens Fitness came along. I need a reason to work out. I’ve been boxing my whole life, so I get bored with it sometimes. When I get bored of boxing, I’ll get more into lifting weights. We’re trying to get my bench to 315 now.”
UFC President Dana White is featured on the cover of Mens Fitness magazine this month, detailing his personal workout routine. Before preparing for the cover shoot, according to the article, “White weighed 217 pounds. By cycling his carb intake and intensifying his workouts, he dropped over 20 pounds in four weeks, weiging in at 196 on the day of the shoot.”

lol.
Looking good Bossman
he looked like this before his scheduled fight w/ tito. tito got scared.
yeah, Tito did…. but damn’ Tito is entertaining and cool to the fans and average Joe on the street, hate to see him leave the UFC…
Thanks for the website info (myfightvideo.com) bro! Watched the fight like 6 times, i also caught Nathan Diaz Vs. Hermes Franca (WEC Title fight) Thats a decent one if you havent seen it man, thanks again!!
yeah i seen it. nate got rocked, but he was probably only 18or19 then.
I know huh, 18 or 19 and in title contention isnt a bad way to stat your career. And he’s only looked better as time has gone on. Before the Kurt Pelly W Nate wasnt my cup of tea but now i give ‘em a chance before i count him out against anybody. Know where i can find some Hallman fights? He’s on both my ROTR DVD’s and ive seen him choke out Hughes once i think, looking for the second one and any other worthy fights of his, let me know bro, thanks again. Ill check that myfightvideo website in a bit to see what they got of the Superman.
you got me on hallman. im not sure where to find him. he caught hughes early in his career and would have been no match for him in hughes prime. and this is coming from someone who cant stan hughes.
No problem: I love that website, and it gets updated with new fights pretty often. Theres all kinds of Anderson Silva Vale Tudo fights on that site that are pretty interesting as well.
The “other rings” section of the site is interesting and it provides some awesome matches I never even knew took place!
The day after an event, that site usually provides many un-aired fights, so I always try to check it out the day after a major event. keep in mind, those fights get taken off quickly, so if you want to see them, get to that site the day after an event.
That’s a good site. Anyone use mmalinker.com too?
Yeh i use that….good site for research
Bull…that has to be airbrushed!
Especially his man boobs! Good job getting the cover though Dana, keep up the great work!
That photo of Dana white is photoshopped. I guarantees it.
Duh can’t you tell, its Tito Ortiz body with a Dana White head
I need to work out, 20 pounds in four weeks is about right. I haven’t worked in 6 weeks and gained about 15, the only thing keeping it down is skateboarding with my son. I may have to go grab the magazine to get some tips. I wanted to get this in early, in about an hour there will be 100 negative Dana hate posts!..
have fun guys, just remember who brought mma to the mainstream, love em or hate em, he’s good for the sport. He needs to resign AA and try to get Fedor/Randy signed (once fedor/Timmy falls apart, and he will resign Tito just on star power (which equals $$) alone!!
I got the first UFC edition of Men’s Fitness with Hughes/Serra on the cover. Those workouts if you follow them, work very well, and I already was in good shape, that put me in great shape. Good stuff man.
He also prepared for the shoot by growing that killer 5 o’clock shadow.
I think the “shadow” is what’s airbrushed….they also rounded off his head.
Great to see people here still have respect.
Like Dana’s a bad ass fighter, I luvd’ it when he talked trash about Dan Henderson not wanting to cut to 185lbs;
“Everytime I talk to that guy I want to headbutt him.”
LOL… c’mon Dana you’re a tough talking pencil pusher, but Hendo would twist your head off, stuff it up your ass, prop up your headless body in your chair, pour himself a cup of coffee and say… “ok’ lets talk business’…”
Hahaha. Nice one.
I disagree though. Of course he knows any UFC dude can beat him, he’s a business man, not a professional fighter. He’s not stupid.
photoshop does wonders
Maybe Dana’s the middleweight contender they need to challenge Silva.
Doesnt look to bad for a 40 year old who has a full time stressful job and a family to take care of
Dana is the man.
GGGGRRRRRRRRR DO YOU WANA FUCKIN BUFF……THAT IS MY QUESTION
LOL
One of my boys said he saw Dana White, another man, and two women he described as, “looked like prostitutes” having dinner at a high-end steak spot called Grill 23. True story.
and?
Danas picking up hookers?!!?
That’d be a good story if you found $20 at the end of it.
Dude, that was Dana’s wife!
Ummmm Soooooo, why’s he look so pissed off?
Well maybe it’s the mood they wanted to set.
Personally I would rather see him smiling in a funny looking hat handing out ice-creams to kids.
He’s done wonders for the UFC, but I gotta say the picture is gay.
haha his expression is kind of lame, but I’m sure they told him to make a “mean” face….oh well hes in better shape than Gary Shaw
Everybody’s in better shape than Gary Shaw.
At least he looks like he’s running a fight company.
“It is not about me (Dana White) it is about the sport of MMA and the fighters.” Looks like it’s all about fame and fortune the fighters, the sport, bloggers, and fans are just stupid pawns who go along with it.
BOYCOTT THIS CRAP CALLED ULTIMATE FIGHTING!
DEVELOP A FIGHTERS UNION!
FORCE THE UFC TO PAY FIGHTHERS WHAT THEY
DESERVE BECAUSE YOU CAN NO LONGER USE THE
EXCUSE WELL WE DON NOT WORK LIKE BOXING WE
PAY FOR OUR SHOWS OUT OF POCKET (BS).
BUDWEISER AND OTHERS ARE!!!!!
WAR COUTURE, TITO, ARLOWSKI, FEDOR, AND EVERYONE ELSE NOT BEING TOOL FOR HIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he’s the only mma promoter doing shit like this to help the company get publicity.. love him or hate him at least he didnt back down when one of his best fighters wanted to fight him,and he dont back down in negotiations he’s not just any old pencil pusher he’s a damn good business man and a marketing genius
great points and great post!!!
He’s a tough smart crafty pencil pushing businessman. Tito and him weren’t going to FIGHT MMA they were going to BOX with big cushy gloves. We also know Tito has some of the worst hands in the MMA game any ex-boxer could whup him in BOXING.
I don’t hate White, I like him and appreciate him regardless of right or wrong decisions… and ‘acknowledging’ it’s a mens fitness magazine and they ask him to do all kinds of posing and this is what they came up with.
It just reminded me of when he said he wanted to head butt Hendo!… seriously… if Hendo would have said, “I’ll rip Dana’s head off and stuff it in his suit case” Hendo would be justified. Of course, Dana being the man with the contracts, Hendo did the wise thing and said nothing. Can u imagine if Hendo did say something like that, how White would have started to fuck with him on the business end?
Be real, don’t act like an MMA Fighter, unless u walk the talk.
i agree dana isn’t ur average pencil pusher. he’s the kid of guy that doesn’t back down from anyone. he was totally prepared to fight tito. shaw wouldn’t fight any of his fighters. dana is the kind of guy needed to run an organization like ufc. i know there’s alot of dana haters, but i respect the man.
BOX… not fight BOX… lol… get it right please
a boxing match is still a fight
If you’ve followed this MMA thread n’ replies, u’d realize how much credit was given to Dana for ‘FIGHTING’ Ortiz… hence’ clearing the air… and clarifying that White does not deserve that much credit because he was willing to ‘BOX’ Ortiz.
You’re right”’ boxing match is still a fight, but the definition of ‘fight’ in it’s PUREST MEANING in sports is already being redefined by MMA.
LOL!
Well, Dana doesn’t have to worry about unscheduled tests, fines, etc. OK, just joking.
say wat u wanna say.. hes a smart man , and 315 is impressive. but he seems to have the stocky body type hes prob really good at lifting weights.
I hate dana white!
who cares what he can bench press…..he just wants to be a fighter but did not ever make it get over it and shut the F%^K up!,
BUT
SERIOUSLY!!
DANA?
DID YOU WANNA BE A F-ING FIGHTER!?!!
um yes!!!!!
Dude that’s not Dana thats Colin Farrell playing Dana!
LMAO!
Men’s Fitness….Good Magazine
Needs to worry less about himself and concentrate more on his fighters. When big names start leaving that should be a wake up call.
If mens fitness mag called you up and asked you to do a cover you would say no? Or in our case we’ll call the mag “MMA Bloggers Magazine” . . .
Anyone else hoping that Dana White is a hidden character in the UFC video game? haha.. he looks like a video game character on that cover.
Andre Aggassi is looking good these days.
Ha ha, very good.
If Dana White gets bored of doing boxing, why the hell doesn’t he train in other martial arts? There are so many. He’s the prez of the biggest mixed martial arts company for pete’s sakes.
lol.. is that a cartoon pic.
