Most UFC fighters don’t take their fitness too seriously. There are many instances of fighters ballooning up between fights, the most recent and notorious example being UFC lightweight, Paddy Pimblett. However, unlike his employees, UFC President Dana White stays in shape all year round. The fact that he does it at the age of 53 makes this all the more impressive.
Recently, on his Instagram page, White showed off his chiseled figure while promoting a product. Dana promoted the ZenCleanz which he apparently used a few weeks ago. Dana also revealed that he was not being paid to promote this product. Aside from the part where he spoke, the post also had a couple of pictures in which Dana looked absolutely ripped, no doubt with the cleanse’s help.

“If any of you have ever wanted to try a cleanse but didn’t know what was a good one to do try @zencleanz_official. I did it a couple weeks ago and it was incredible. @garybrecka told me it’s the best. I bought 10 more for my family and friends. If you try it, let me know what you think,” wrote Dana.
Fans marveled at White’s physique, which looked better than many fighters on the UFC roster. However, not many know what caused Dana to suddenly care so much about his fitness. After all, even Khabib Nurmagomedov was shocked by Dana’s physique at UFC 280.
Dana White owes his new physique to the major changes in his lifestyle
The President of the UFC once revealed that despite not suffering from any life-threatening illnesses, he only had 10.4 years to live. Dana White learned this after he met with the human biologist, Gary Brecka. This news shocked Dana, who despite knowing he was unhealthy, didn’t know the extent of his condition.

After performing some tests, Brecka told Dana that if he adjusted his diet and workout routine, his life expectancy would improve exponentially. White revealed on the ActionJunkeez podcast, “I’m on the keto diet. This is what Gary Brecka told me there are essential fats that your body needs or you’ll die. There are essential amino acids, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. I’ve never felt better. I feel like I’m 35 years old again.”
Since making these changes to his lifestyle, White saw drastic changes to his life and his body. He revealed that some problems he had with his legs went away and the quality of his sleep improved. Fans saw how fit Dana became once he started adapting his lifestyle to changes prescribed by Brecka. And Dana’s belief in Brecka’s work can be seen even in the recent Instagram post as the UFC President tagged Brecka in the post.
