Netflix Reportedly Moving Forward With Dana White Documentary

Reporters say the film will examine White’s rise in the UFC with recent high-profile events providing fresh material for the story.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, that Netflix is developing an untitled documentary focused on UFC CEO Dana White with a likely premiere in the first quarter of 2027.
  • Filmmaker Gotham Chopra is reported to be directing the project that began as a Las Vegas film before shifting to a career-spanning profile of White.
  • Sources say Netflix greenlit the documentary while pursuing UFC U.S. media rights, a rights battle that ultimately resulted in a seven-year, $7.7 billion deal for Paramount.
  • Reporters say the film is expected to cover White’s role in persuading Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta to buy the UFC, the promotion’s 2016 sale to an Endeavor-led group, and recent events such as the White House UFC card and the launch of Zuffa Boxing.
