Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Netflix is moving forward with an untitled Dana White documentary that is likely to premiere in the first quarter of 2027.
- Filmmaker Gotham Chopra is reported to be directing the project and the film began life as a broader Las Vegas documentary before shifting focus to White.
- Sources say the project was approved while Netflix pursued U.S. UFC rights and that former Netflix content chief Bela Bajaria greenlit the film during those talks.
- The documentary is expected to cover White’s role persuading the Fertitta brothers to buy the UFC, the promotion’s 2016 sale to an Endeavor-led group, and recent 2026 events such as the White House card and the launch of Zuffa Boxing.
- Neither Netflix, Dana White nor Chopra have publicly confirmed the project, leaving White’s level of cooperation, the film’s editorial approach, and an official title or release date unverified.
