Netflix has reportedly greenlit a new documentary focusing on UFC president Dana White, according to a report from Awful Announcing. The project was allegedly approved during ongoing negotiations between the streaming giant and the mixed martial arts promotion for media rights.
The documentary would center on White, who has led the UFC since 2001 and overseen its transformation into a global combat sports powerhouse. Netflix has been expanding its sports documentary portfolio in recent years, with series covering Formula 1, golf, and tennis.
Talks between Netflix and UFC regarding broadcast rights have been ongoing, with the streaming service reportedly seeking to add live UFC events to its platform. The documentary approval suggests a deepening relationship between the two entities.
Brendon Kleen of Awful Announcing first reported the development on November 3, 2026. Neither Netflix nor UFC has officially confirmed the documentary project.
