Don't cross the boss.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White has pulled all future mixed martial arts (MMA) events from The Palms Casino Resort after the struggling hotel reduced his gambling credit line by 50 percent, according a report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Nothing business, just personal.
White, who allegedly racked up dinner bills upward of $20,000, while factoring in generous $10,000 tips, is no stranger to "Sin City" gambling stories, denying reports back in 2010 that he allegedly owed the Bellagio hotel more than $1 million following an unsuccessful run at the casino tables.
The Palms was known for hosting The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) events inside its "Pearl" theater.

I'm looking forward to his side of the story.
What's the over-under on number of F-Bombs?

Isn't the palms a smaller venue? UFC is probably getting too big for it anyway.

Seems shady one way or another...
Jesus I would not want to be around Dana White when he has a bad day of gambling...he gets fired up so easily...can't be good for him.

Is there any actual facts here to can corroborate this story? Is there a specific time when the aforementioned incident took place? Sounds more like a rumour that is being reported as a fact. If we are able to find out the credit reduction time frame and the booking of the next TUF finale time frame, then we can figure out if this story is legit or not.

Sorry can anyone explain me this??? Quote: |
White, who allegedly racked up dinner bills upward of $20,000, while factoring in generous $10,000 tips
| That means that he actually pays 20,000 bucks just for a fucking dinner and then he gives other 10,000 bucks as a tip???

How many rooms at The Palms? Nobody cares--They don't have one big enough to hold Dana White swagger. So he left those bitches behind.
For some reason this just "feels" like the Dana I've come to know and love over the years. I think it's his flair for resorting to scorched earth tactics whenever negotiations get hostile. I doubt that definitive proof will ever be offered to corroborate the story, but Dana's response will speak volumes. I don't think he's the one to play meek in front of the cameras if some reporter asks him directly about the rumor.
