Dana White is the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a role he has held since 2001 when he and his business partners bought the company. Born in 1969 in Manchester, Connecticut, White grew up in New England and Las Vegas, competed as an amateur boxer, and worked as a boxing coach and MMA manager before partnering with the Fertitta brothers to buy and grow the UFC. Under his leadership, the UFC has become a multi-billion dollar global enterprise.
Tomorrow, he is joining the guys in New York to discuss his life, the birth of the UFC, entrepreneurialism and the upcoming UFC event this weekend at Madison Square Garden. Comment your questions for Dana.

French authorities are still reeling from what’s being called the “heist of the century” — the $102 million theft of French Crown Jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris last month. Investigators say the museum’s video surveillance password was simply “Louvre,” sparking outrage over its lax security at the home of masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the nearly four-millennia-old Code of Hammurabi. A 2014 audit had already warned the museum was running outdated systems, including Windows 2000. Four suspects have been charged, but none of the eight stolen jewels have been recovered.
