They are parents to Dana White III, Aiden White, and Savannah White, with Savannah being the youngest among her brothers.In a conversation with Candy Funhouse on YouTube, White recounted how tense his wife was over the situation regarding their daughter's incident. He said:"I think we were in Texas, and it was a Cormier fight. My daughter was really young, and the dog at that we had at that time ripped her ear off... and as you can imagine, my wife was losing her mind and everybody was freaking out."He added:"So, I ran over and grabbed our UFC doctor from Vegas and got a plastic surgeon... Not only the dog ripped her ear off, but it topped her ear in half. So, my wife had to pick her ear and had to go to the hospital and have her ear sewn back."Check out Dana White's comments below (via @jedigoodman on X):When Dana White publicly encouraged parents to enroll their children in Jiu-JitsuDana White has been involved in combat sports for over two decades.

Soccer, basketball, it's fun, you learn some team stuff. You do it to a certain point. You put them in Jiu-Jitsu, they'll have that for the rest of their life, forever. To the day they die, they'll have that Jiu-Jitsu in their back pocket...It's not about strength or power, it's about technique."Check out the comments below (22:25)
