UFC president Dana White might miss UFC Vegas 105 this Saturday. He received an invitation to a baccarat tournament in Las Vegas with a $10 million prize pool.
White announced on Instagram Friday evening that he was invited to the tournament and received $20,000 in promotional chips just for participating. MGM Resorts sent the invitation with a framed $1,000 bill.
White is known for his high-stakes gambling.
He`s actually playing for a smaller prize now compared to some of his past baccarat winnings. He previously mentioned winning big at Caesar`s Palace in Las Vegas in 2024.
White said on the “Full Send” podcast, “At Caesars Palace, I won about $1 million per night from early January to March. I won around $26 or $27 million.”
White often praises Caesars because they allow him and other big gamblers to bet large amounts, unlike some casinos that have banned him. He said Caesars let him bet $350,000 per hand, an offer only for him and a few VIPs.
White likes Caesars so much that he called them “gangster” because of how well they treat him.
Based on his post about the baccarat tournament, he will be playing on April 5th and 6th. UFC Vegas 105 is scheduled for Saturday night at the UFC APEX, featuring a main event between Josh Emmett and Lerone Murphy.
