Mania Mailbag: Will Dana White Regret His Pivot To Boxing?

Dear readers, the recent mailbag column delves into the question of whether UFC President Dana White will come to regret his shift towards boxing promotion. The consensus among readers is that he doesn't have much to regret, given the UFC's meteoric rise under his leadership. From a red $2 million deficit to a staggering $7 billion net worth in under two decades, White's success has been undeniable.

Some even argue that his personal flaws pale in comparison to his accomplishments. However, others point out that the future may hold challenges for White, particularly in light of shifting political landscapes and potential changes in anti-trust laws and the Ali Act. Meanwhile, the column also discusses the controversial Silva vs. Cong title fight, labeling it as a "terrible main event," but ultimately concluding that it's better than leaving the title dormant.

Lastly, the article touches on the rising frequency of underdog victories, attributing it to factors like prediction markets and the influence of younger generations on betting trends.
