UFC president Dana White recorded a massive $1.2 million win while playing baccarat at Fontainebleau Las Vegas during International Fight Week. White was seen wagering $300,000 per hand in a moment captured by former NFL player and podcast host Taylor Lewan. 

The clip featured him sitting at the table with his son Aidan, surrounded by friends and spectators. Loud cheers erupt as the winning hand is revealed, and Dana White can be heard saying he’s walking away more than $1 million ahead.

A source close to the UFC president confirmed the video was taken on June 28, the night before UFC 317. The footage made the rounds on social media, giving fans a glimpse into his extravagant lifestyle.

High-Stakes Bets and Bigger Rewards

White’s win wasn’t the only highlight of the baccarat table. Taylor Lewan also revealed that he made $950,000 over two days playing baccarat and roulette. Much of his success came from gambling alongside Dana White.

The UFC boss is renowned for betting aggressively, and this latest win adds to his history at the tables. 

Over the years, he has claimed huge victories and suffered losses in Las Vegas casinos. Some properties reportedly asked him not to return after frequent wins. 

Despite the risks, White has never hidden his passion for gambling. He plays big, wins big, and doesn’t shy away from the spotlight.

Power Slap and Public Persona

Outside of his UFC role, Dana White has built Power Slap, a combat sports league focused on open-hand striking. The competition was launched in 2022 and sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. It features athletes facing off under a strict set of rules.

Though unconventional, Power Slap has rapidly grown into the top slap-fighting promotion in the U.S., attracting combat sports fans and casual viewers. White often promotes the league alongside UFC events, expanding his influence in the fight world. He continues to make headlines for his successful events and million-dollar bets at casino tables.

Vegas, Fights, and Fortune

The timing of White’s gambling win highlights his deep connection to Las Vegas. Though it was a night before a major event, he still made time to play some games. Beyond being the UFC’s home, Vegas is also Dana White’s personal playground. With International Fight Week in full swing, his massive win added more buzz to an already packed schedule.

From hosting major fight cards to making gambling headlines, Dana White remains a central figure in combat sports and Las Vegas culture. The recent $1.2 million win proves once again that he plays to win, in the Octagon or at baccarat.
