Icons like UFC head honcho Dana White have immortalized their looks and legacy in their respective fields.

While several people can pull off a bald look, Dana White has undoubtedly made it his own. It is perhaps owing to the fame that comes with spearheading the world's premier MMA promotion and leading some terrifying men and women to combat sports glory.

However, Dana White wasn't always seen sans hair. As difficult as it is to imagine, he had a full head of hair back in the day.

While Dana White made his foray into mainstream MMA much later in life, he was a nervous gentleman with hair when he started on the quest to make UFC one of the biggest MMA promotions in the world.
