UFC CEO Dana White recently spoke about the passing of his parents, during a conversation with Piers Morgan.
And, well, White confessed that he felt nearly indifferent to the event…
Due to the strained relationship with his parents:
My parents both died recently. I’m good with it.
I focus a lot on my kids and my relationship with them, and I’ve sort of put my relationship with my parents behind me.I didn’t wish ill will on either one of my parents, but no – I didn’t [feel sad].
When they passed away, I had almost no feelings about it, to be honest.
Despite not having a father figure in his life and – as emphasized by White – having a mother who used his fame against him, he remains grateful for the (lack of) relationship he had with his parents.
As it made him into the person he is today:
I don’t like talking about it, but I would say yes, absolutely my relationship with my parents definitely made me who I am today in many different ways.
Not just in business, but as a father too, so I wouldn’t change my upbringing, not one thing about it.I can’t deny the fact that the way I am built – the drive, and all the things that I have, definitely come from the relationship that I had with my parents.
There’s no doubt, but I have no remorse.
I don’t feel bad about the way I grew up.
