UFC CEO Dana White has spoken candidly about a long-running rift with his mother and an unauthorized biography she published about him.

White said the book used personal photographs, including pictures from his wedding, and contained material about people who had never done anything to her. He described the experience as deeply painful and unexpected, saying it was among the grossest and most disgusting things anyone could imagine until it happens to them.

He also explained how the relationship eventually broke down for good. According to White, the two never reconciled, and they passed away without speaking to each other. The remarks give a rare glimpse into a family dispute that White has seldom addressed in detail.

What White said

  • The biography was published by his mother without his authorization.
  • It included private photos, among them his wedding pictures.
  • He said it also contained claims about people who had done nothing to her.
  • The relationship never recovered, and the two did not speak before they died.

White is best known as the public face of the UFC, and he typically keeps his personal life out of the spotlight. His comments here are unusually direct, and he framed the episode as a betrayal that crossed a line for him personally.

The story sits outside the cage and has no bearing on any fight card or ranking. It is a personal account from one of the most recognizable figures in combat sports, and it adds context to how White has dealt with privacy and loyalty over the years.
