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 transformed it into a global combat sports powerhouse. Details about the production timeline, release date, or specific content focus were not disclosed in the initial report.
Talks between Netflix and UFC regarding broadcasting rights have been ongoing, with the streaming service looking to expand its live sports portfolio. The documentary greenlight suggests a deepening relationship between the two entities beyond traditional rights agreements.
