AUSTIN, TEXAS: While UFC president Dana White has been playing Blackjack for a while, he has lately begun to work with YouTubers and broadcasters, including Adin Ross and SteveWillDoIt. White is well recognized for being an enthusiastic gambler.

Things went downhill when White and Ross got together for a livestream gambling event back in April. The stream took about five hours to complete. The two were reportedly down $1M at one point during the game, though the precise amount of money was not confirmed.

Why did Dana White lose his temper?

As one might expect, the UFC president was enraged and was seen losing his cool after failing to win a Blackjack hand. At one point, White and Ross were down $1M, but they went on to break even and apparently departed the table with no losses. It appears that White's good fortune ultimately rescued them.

White is a skilled Blackjack player, who has amassed millions of dollars in winnings. Additionally, he was formerly prohibited from practically all renowned casinos in Las Vegas due to his knack for consistently winning too much money.



 

‘Bro this is what we all needed’

Fans were quick to react to the video of the incident on YouTube. A fan commented, “Bro this is what we all needed another video stay blessed brother.” Another fan said, “Never understood why Dana is seen as controversial. Every time he’s in an irl situation he seems so humble and generous.”

Another fan commented, “Ant seems like a really trustworthy person that Adin is lucky to have found. You need people like him and B Lou around. I wish I had friends like that.” Another penned, “You see the difference between those that gamble vs those that don't during the buildup at 10:30. Everyone saying Yessir and getting more hyped with each card and look at Dana's face. He knew to keep his joy contained bc the dealer could still ruin everyone's day lolllllll.”
