Dana White has been subpoenaed. According to the websites 'MMA Junkie', 'The MMA Draw', and 'MMA Fighting', the UFC president will have to testify in an ongoing antitrust lawsuit against the organization.
Dana White, along with one of the heads of the company's legal department, Tracy Long, will be called to testify in the Cirkunov class action lawsuit against Zuffa. The UFC must hand over data on fighter payments and contract negotiations in this case, including White's cell phone data.

For your information, several phone numbers and data points were released, but the plaintiffs alleged "gaps in the production" of the data concerning Dana White and Tracy Long.
Judge Richard F. Boulware, who presided over the Le v. Zuffa class action lawsuit that resulted in a $350 million verdict against Zuffa/UFC, has ordered an "evidence destruction hearing" for February 4 and 5, in which Dana White and Tracy Long will have to testify.
Dana White is feuding with the judge overseeing the antitrust case.
Another detail is that the judge before whom Dana and Tracy will testify on February 4th and 5th is the same judge whom White publicly accused of having a personal feud with him in ongoing antitrust proceedings against the company.
In early 2025, the UFC president said in an interview that he went to high school with Richard F. Boulware and accused the referee of having a personal feud with him.
“I don’t think I was a bully to him. I don’t think I did anything wrong to that guy. I don’t know what the hell happened. But I have no doubt that this is something extremely personal and, whatever happened to him, we’ll let the lawyers handle it, and that’s what it is,” Dana White told Yahoo! Sports.
In any case, the lawyers and Dana will have to deal with this, and according to 'The MMA Draw's' more in-depth analysis of the case, if it is proven that White and the UFC concealed or destroyed evidence, this could affect ongoing arbitration proceedings and class action lawsuits against them, potentially costing billions.
