On a new episode of The Rolling Stone Interview, writer Jack Crosbie sits down with president and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) for a conversation about running an empire, what legacy means to him, and the upcoming fight at the White House. The upcoming cage match in honor of the country’s 250th birthday was arranged at the behest of White’s “very close” friend, President Donald Trump, and will be put on by perhaps the single most important figure in American sports, Dana White. He’s the gateway to America’s most intimate displays of violence, a multiplatform empire that he says will encompass “every way that you could possibly kick another person’s ass.” That business has intersected with some of the most powerful people in every corner of the world. He’s got the ear of the president, the attention of the nation, and he’s just getting started. He tells Rolling Stone: “I get up every day, and I want to do something. I want to win. I want to break a record. I want to go to the next level every time that I get out of bed. And I don’t know how I retire. I don’t know how I stop.” ⸻ Talent: Dana White Interviewer: Jack Crosbie Director of Social & Video: Waiss Aramesh Head of Film & Premium Content: Alexandra Dale Executive Producer, Shoot Director, Editor: Christopher Hwisu Kim Senior Producer: Viviane Feldman Producer & Colorist: Mitch Saavedra Video Director of Photography: Will Chilton Camera operators: Haley Snyder, Steve Franchek Sound: Adam Garber Photographer: Sacha Lecca Senior Product Designer: Nicole Thompson VFX: Jonathan Katav Creative Director: Joe Hutchinson Director of Features: Kate Storey Co-Editors in Chief: Sean Woods, Shirley Halperin CEO: Julian Holguin https://www.youtube.com/user/rollingstone
