UFC president Dana White gives inspirational monologue talking about staging events through COVID-19 lockdowns

Dana White's business was booming during the initial lockdown when most of the sports world had to shut shop altogether. The UFC Honcho recently weighed in on his experience of keeping the business running during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to White, going through the pandemic was the UFC's hardest phase since the inception of the promotion. The business tycoon recalled being targeted for trying to stage events when the entire world was advised to socially distance themselves.

Despite being strong-willed, White claims that he started questioning his actions during some low-phases. However, the 52-year-old always managed to stay true to his convictions. The UFC boss recently said on The Pivot:

"When you talk about how hard it was to build this business, nothing was harder than going through COVID. You know, I'm being attacked by everybody, I'm the devil, I care about money more than people and all these other bulls**t rhetoric that they wanna put on you because they don't like that you're trying. Just had to battle through that, just live in my own bubble here. But sometimes we've hit so many dead ends and so many walls, a couple of times I'm like, 'What are you doing? What are you doing? You know, what are you doing? Am I doing the right thing?' I'd say, 'Yeah, I'm doing the right thing? Let's go.'"
