Dana White is here for a good time and a long time.
The UFC CEO and president never plans to move on from his role at the world's biggest MMA organization, he said on Monday's episode of "The Tucker Carlson Show."
"I will never retire. Ever," White said. "I will keep dogging this out until the day I drop dead. I love it."
White has been head of the UFC since 2001 when Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta acquired the promotion for $2 million. Under White's leadership, it has grown into a multibillion-dollar company.
The Fertitta brothers sold their majority stake to Endeavor in 2016 for approximately $4 billion. White stayed on as president.
"When we sold in 2016, 99% of the people said that I was gonna retire and walk away," White said. "I'm not wired like that."
White, 55, added that he will "hopefully" still be sitting cageside at UFC events when he's 80 years old.
"I'm still out building new brands and doing shit that I don't need to be doing," White said. "But I do it because I love it."
