Dana White does a lot of traveling. The straight-talking businessman goes to every corner of the globe in his efforts to expand the UFC brand, so a few good tunes are essential for filling the hours in transit. Unsurprisingly, the UFC president’s tastes reflect his personality – edgy, uncompromising and in your face.
How would you describe your taste in music?
Everything, but angry music is my favorite.
What would be on your iPod if we turned it on right now?
Rage Against The Machine or Beastie Boys.
What kind of player do you have, iPod, Zune, what?
I’ve got an iPod.
Some people use music to psyche themselves up before training or to chill out. What type of music do you use?
Rage for training and Red Hot Chili Peppers for chilling out.
What would be the most recent track you downloaded?
Dead and Gone – T.I. and Timberlake.
Are you a club or concert kind of guy?
Neither really, it depends on how I feel, but neither are my favorite thing to do.
When you’re at the club, do you dance?
If you ever see me dancing, I am shit faced! Slap me and get me in a cab immediately!
If you could see anyone live in concert, who would you see?
Beastie Boys or Rage Against The Machine
What would be your ultimate walk-in tune?
There are so many great ones!
And finally, is there any music on your iPod that you would be embarrassed of?
A lot of Pussycat Dolls! And a couple of videos, too.
