This article is not about the UFC or MMA. This is specifically about the person Dana White. This is also not a depository of quotes, for that there is Wikiquotes: Dana White. Quotes should be converted to a sentence format that pertains to Dana White's life before being placed in this article. Shawnc 17:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

"Ballet dancing" will be removed unless citation is provided. Shawnc 17:56, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Boxercise

Can anyone verify the authenticity of this photograph? This does not look like Dana White, and there should be far better publicity stills available than this overexposed action shot.

A reply on Sherdog suggests that it is authentic: "Yes it's a legit pic. He was an amateur boxer when he was young, then he owned some gyms and was a boxercise instructor. Became a manager of some mma fighters, bought the UFC with his friends the Fertittas, and was instituted as manager.". Shawnc 06:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems to be legit, but nonetheless a better picture should be up here. SubSeven 18:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Here is a different and better picture, Should the picture be changed to this?

An issue is that if the boxercise picture is available for free, then we shouldn't use any copyrighted images because free images take precedence. I'm not sure the boxercise pic was actually taken by the user who uploaded it though. Shawnc 16:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Isn't that a picture of Antonio Banderas?75.197.12.92 07:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Antonio Banderas? lol, no its definitely him, and the picture shown on his WP page IS him, but I agree, its a crappy picture, and i vote that we change it to the one on the link above ps. Boxercise.......what a bitch lol. Takedashingen620

It's a moot point. We already have a free, public domain pic of White and we don't have rights to the image above, so we cannot claim fair use for that picture. Unless there's another free pic out there, we're stuck with the one we have right now. hateless 04:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Actual date of birth?

On the bottom of this page, it lists "1969 births". On the page, it says he's born in 1971. Whats the correct one. In an article done immediately after TUF 1 finale, it read he was 34 years old. The article was done approximately June of 2005 which leads you to believe he was born 1970-1971. In an article done after TUF 3 finale, it read he was 36 years old. This article was done mid 2006, which leads you to believe he was born in 1969-1970. Can anyone get an official date? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.82.34.35 (talk) 04:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
