White soon contacted Lorenzo Fertitta, a childhood friend, an executive at Station Casinos, and a former commissioner of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Within a month Lorenzo Fertitta and his older brother Frank Fertitta III bought the UFC, with White installed as its president.Dana is believed to currently own 10% of Zuffa, LLC, the entity the Fertitta brothers created to own and manage the UFC.
