Gotham Chopra is reportedly directing an untitled Dana White
documentary examining the UFC’s rise and ownership history

According to Page Six, the project
was initially conceived as a documentary about Las Vegas before
evolving into a closer look at White and his role in the UFC’s
growth.

Netflix reportedly greenlit the documentary as a companion project
while pursuing the UFC’s media rights. Paramount ultimately secured
the U.S. rights in a seven-year agreement worth $7.7 billion.

The documentary is expected to examine White’s involvement in the
UFC’s acquisition by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta and its eventual
sale to an Endeavor-led group.

Recent developments could also provide material, including
UFC Freedom 250 on the White House South Lawn and the launch of
Zuffa Boxing, White’s venture with Saudi official Turki
Alalshikh.

Chopra has not publicly commented on the reported project. No title
or official release date has been announced.
