UFC President Dana White said he loves betting and gambling.
“I love betting. Obviously people love to do it. It makes the event you watch more fun and interesting. I’m always open to it, because I’m from Las Vegas. I always place bets. On every sport, I am always looking at the odds that give on fights. I also play table gambling very often. I get worse if I do not gamble. Yes, my condition gets worse. I love to bet, “said Dana White.
The UFC boss also recalled how he lost a million dollars, betting on Jermain Taylor’s victory in his fight with Kelly Pavlik in 2007.
“What was that kid’s name? Jermain Taylor. Who was he fighting with? I remember because they kicked my ass then. It was a lanky white guy from Ohio – Kelly Pavlik. I bet a million dollars on Taylor, but he was destroyed. This was the first time when I bet a million, I was sure that Taylor would win, “ – added Dana White.
