Dana White has focused for years now on building a better quality of life.
UFC President Dana White has been an incredible business mind that has taken mixed martial arts into the stratosphere. While turning UFC into an empire, White has also worked on improving his own health.

At 56 years old, White is focused on living the highest quality of life possible. He joined bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler to discuss his current training split and diet.
“I try to stay in great shape to live a better quality of life but I want to be able to ride for as long as I can.”
In the 1990s, White left Boston for Las Vegas to run other boxing gyms while training in jiu-jitsu. He met Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell and decided to manage both athletes there. When Dana White learned that the UFC was up for sale, he seized the opportunity and contacted a few investors to acquire the company. Under White’s leadership, the UFC became a successful company, and Forbes valued it at $1.1 billion in 2008.
Dana White’s Training Split
White shared his full training split, which features four days of action and three rest days:
- Monday – Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
- Tuesday – Back, Biceps
- Wednesday – Legs
- Thursday – Rest
- Friday – Rest
- Saturday – Full Body
- Sunday – Rest
“I train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I take Thursday and Friday off and I hit it again on Saturday, but everyday Monday through Sunday, I do recovery stuff.”
Dana White went into his diet plan, which is primarily keto-based. While traveling for events, White will indulge in a cheat meal every now and then but focuses on a diet that consists of mainly red meat, berries, and avocado.
“Just basically a keto-style, incredible. That’s how I normally eat when I’m doing Gary Brecka f*cking sh*t the way that I’m supposed to.”
Health Changing & Workout Approach
The fights he was always involved in during his youth and his general lifestyle took a toll on White. One is that he suffered from the sleeping disorder sleep apnea. White was also overweight with poor blood work, meaning he was dying slowly.
Gary Brecka analyzed White’s metrics and gave him 10.4 years to live if he didn’t address his health problems. So Dana White started the 10x Health System Protocol to reverse his fate in less than 10 weeks.
What Is the 10x Health System Protocol?
The 10x Health System Protocol is a system that is divided into four sections. The goal of this protocol is to improve your health and lifestyle, and White followed the following:
- PEMF Pad
- Cold Plunges
- Cardio Exercises with Oxygen Therapy
- Red Light Therapy
