Daniel Cormier On Who Could Replace Dana White
Though, it is difficult to contemplate if anybody could ever take over the shoes of Dana White but former UFC champ-champ Daniel Cormier has a name in mind. According to DC, Hunter Campbell, who works closely with Dana White and often makes an appearance at the official face-offs before the fight night could take the baton one day from White. At present, Campell holds the position of Chief Executive Business Officer in the company.
When was the last time you heard an executive’s name called as many times as Hunter Campbell?” asked Cormier via The Bohnfire.
He has developed a way of relating to the athletes and their managers to make fights that seem like they won’t happen or can’t happen come together.
It was only a few years ago that he took the lead in negotiations, and I can even go back to my last fight four years ago, he called – we had built a relationship over the last few years of my career – he called with two sentences, ‘We’re going to do this for DC’, and we were done, no negatives.
So, Hunter Campbell is the man for the job, as per Daniel Cormier. What do you think, is there anyone who can leave as hefty impressions as Dana White has left on the fight world.
