#2 An assault led to Meniere's disease
Dana White's rough days in Boston are pretty well-documented. So it not shocking to know that the bossman was involved in his fair share of scraps in his early twenties. However, it was quite surprising to discover that it was one such physical encounter that was the cause of his Meniere's disease.
White revealed this interesting tidbit on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience in 2013 and described the incident in detail while doing so. White was apparently accosted by a group of men who wailed on him for 20 minutes until the police arrived, leaving El Presidente with a ringing ear.
Dana says that the ringing continued for a month and was so horrible that he couldn't sleep. He was told that the incident left him with permanent damage. In the interview, White says that this is what led to him being diagnosed with the disease.
Ménière's disease is a condition that affects balance and hearing. It is caused by excessive inner ear fluid which could be brought on by physical trauma to the area. Symptoms of Ménière's include hearing loss, vertigo, vomiting or nausea and a feeling of increased pressure in the ear.
