UFC president Dana White was back at the baccarat tables just before UFC 317 — and walked away with a $1.2 million win. The big night took place at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, right in the middle of International Fight Week, and was caught on camera by podcast host and former NFL player Taylor Lewan.
Good to know
- Dana White wagered $300,000 per hand and finished with $1.2 million in profits.
- The win happened the night before UFC 317 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
- White is known for both massive wins and losses at Vegas casinos.
In a video posted online, Dana White is seen at the baccarat tables with his son Aidan beside him. Lewan’s vlog captures White stating he is up more than $1 million, with the room celebrating loudly behind him. A source later confirmed to local media that the moment took place on June 28, the night before the UFC 317 event.
White has never been shy about his gambling habits. His sessions at Vegas casinos have made headlines over the years, not only for big wins but also for occasional losses in the millions. Some casinos have even reportedly limited or banned him due to his betting success.
Taylor Lewan scores big too
While White made his money at baccarat, Taylor Lewan also had a strong run. He said he left the casino up $950,000 over two days, thanks to a mix of baccarat and roulette. Much of his gambling time was spent alongside White, as captured in his video series chronicling high-stakes casino nights.

Gambling remains part of White’s Vegas story
Beyond the fight world, White has turned his personal gambling stories into a frequent topic of discussion. It is part of the image he embraces in Las Vegas — a place where he has become a central figure through both UFC and his personal ventures.
White also runs Power Slap, the slap-fighting league he launched in 2022. Regulated by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Power Slap has grown fast, becoming the leading slap-fighting promotion in the country.
