According to some latest reports, Netflix is rolling the dice on a new documentary centered on UFC President and CEO Dana White’s legendary Las Vegas gambling exploits. The streaming giant has begun filming an untitled unscripted project that follows White through his multimillion-dollar betting sessions at blackjack and baccarat tables across the most exclusive venues.
The timing of this yet-to-be announced project couldn’t have been more peculiar, as the UFC faces an FBI investigation into alleged fixed fights and suspicious betting patterns. The show highlights how White’s personal betting connects to bigger sports gambling issues.
White’s relationship with Las Vegas gambling extends decades, but his exploits have intensified in recent years. The 56-year-old UFC executive described himself as a “degenerate” gambler in an interview with ESPN, and rarely shies away from discussing his casino sessions. His stories have achieved folk hero status among high-roller communities, particularly after he claimed to have won $26 million at Caesars Palace between January and March 2024, primarily through baccarat.
However, on the flipside, some reports suggest White currently owes Red Rock Resorts between $25 million and $50 million, raising questions about the long-term sustainability of his gambling lifestyle despite his estimated $600 million net worth. White has denied these allegations, and Red Rock declined to comment.
From a documentary perspective, White is a unique character. Gary Baum of The Hollywood Reporter described him as “the ideal protagonist: a voluble, larger-than-life high roller” whose visible enthusiasm for gambling and willingness to discuss his habits publicly makes him suitable for streaming content.
The Netflix documentary will likely explore White’s attitude toward risk, addiction, and money. The release date isn’t confirmed, but the show is already generating buzz for its inside look at Las Vegas and high-stakes betting.
