Dana White has revealed that he has shed more than two stone after receiving a frightening prognosis that he had just ten years to live.<\/p>\n
The UFC president comes from an athletic background, having worked as a boxercise instructor before a fateful meeting with childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta led him to the position he currently occupies.<\/p>\n
However, White revealed that he had struggled to stay in shape in recent years prior to meeting so-called human biologist and mortality expert Gary Brecka.<\/p>\n
In a post shared to his 8.4million followers on Instagram, White compared before and after photos of himself with the current picture highlighting his chiseled physique, with both significant muscle mass and low body fat.<\/p>\n
White captioned his post: ‘Left is March 17th 2017 Right is September 18th 2023 F***** NUTS!!!’ and tagged Brecka’s Instagram account.<\/p>\n

Dana White has taken to social media to show his dramatic six-year weight loss transformation<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
White shared a side-by-side comparison of two photos six years apart highlighting his new physique<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
UFC president (pictured in 2018) revealed he underwent a lifestyle change after being warned he had just 10 years to live<\/p>\n
Speaking about his desire to seek out Brecka’s help last year, White revealed to The Action Junkeez Podcast that\u00a0<\/span>he was ‘f***ing obsessed’ with finding out the exact month he is on pace to die in.<\/p>\n Following a DNA test the 54-year-old was told that given his current condition that he had just 10.6 years to live, leading him to undertake a series of lifestyle changes in both diet and exercise.<\/p>\n After producing the harrowing verdict, Brecka supplied White with a series of recommendations to turn his health around.<\/p>\n \u2018So I did everything he said, to the letter,\u2019 White said on the podcast. \u2018My legs were so f***** up 13 weeks ago, I couldn\u2019t tie my shoes. I couldn\u2019t bend over to tie my shoes, because my legs were f***** up. I could barely walk some days.<\/p>\n \u2018I feel like I\u2019m 35-years-old again. Swear to God, I feel like I\u2019m 35 again.\u2019<\/p>\n While there remains controversy within the scientific community\u00a0regarding the veracity of such projections, the stark warning about the state of his health clearly has had a significant impact on White.<\/p>\n
