Dana White said the UFC will donate $1 million to help the victims affected by the shooting Sunday at a country music concert, in which at least 59 people were killed and more than 500 others were injured.
The UFC President said:
Vegas is his town, it’s where UFC is based and where he lives and he feels it’s his duty to help the city recover in any way he can.
White told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto Monday:
“At the end of the day, this is our city — we love this place, the first thing when we got up this morning, everybody, personally, got it together and made sure anybody they know or love was OK. Then we came in here and made sure all of our employees are OK.”
The UFC confirmed in a statement that UFC 216, headlined by an interim lightweight title fight between Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee, will be held as planned on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena Las Vegas.
Our focus right now is on supporting the community and those affected by Sunday evening’s events. UFC 216 on Saturday, October 7 at T-Mobile Arena will proceed as scheduled until further notice.
The UFC has been headquartered in Las Vegas since January 2001!

Tell Vince to do the same.
Nobody’s business who is giving. Up to me to judge what comes out of my pocket only
$1 million. Wow, so generous. -_-
How much did you donate?
If 1 million to him is like1,000 to you
Then you better have donated more than 1,000 to judge
helps to calculate how much help 1 million brings. It may be abit to him, but it’s a tsunami of help for tons of people
Lol…selfie boy! Glad you found time to add to the stupid comments of the day, in between pics of yourself ??
John Sicar, some people are worth seeing and some are worth hiding. Guess which one you are.
And I can judge all I want, just like you guys are judging me for being sarcastic. Hypocrites.
$1 mil is a publicitity stunt. $50 mil would actually be giving a shit.
Good day to you gentlemen.
$1 million dollars donated that is a ver nice gesture.
heck yes<3
