UFC president Dana White's mother June White has published a book regarding her famous son. At one point, she compares Dana to Rosemary's Baby, a movie regarding the span of Satan, and an evil character from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. "It is difficult for me to see how, as the popularity of the UFC evolved, the person I once knew changed into someone who is egotistical, self-centered, arrogant, and cruel," June White wrote in the book Dana White - King of MMA.

"I liken Dana’s transformation to that of Precious in Lord of the Rings. Just as the ring of power changed that fictional character, Dana’s power and wealth have changed him into someone I do not recognize. As Dana’s success grew and the circumstances of life changed for him, he did not do the same for them.

"Dana’s family and friends were always there to help and support him no matter what the circumstances. As Dana’s success grew and the circumstances of life changed for him, he did not do the same for them. Dana went from being a true friend, a good son, and a truly nice person to being a vindictive tyrant who lacks any feelings for how he treats others.

"It is hard to say if what changed him so utterly was the extreme amount of money he came into so quickly, the influence of those around him, or how suddenly he could make or break so many people. Power can create ugly beasts. In meetings that were not going Dana’s way, he has told me, he would stand up at the conference table, (creating a psychological advantage), holler, and swear at individuals he was dealing with. He would tell them, 'I’ll bury you!'

"Dana has a very short fuse and it does not take a whole lot to set him off on a totally out-of-control tirade. These days he always gets what he wants, no matter what it takes to get it. His employees will echo that same powerful statement: he will do whatever it takes to get what he wants." For more details on the book, check out CagePotato.com.

Powell's POV: Clearly, she was comparing Dana to the character of Gollum, who obsessed over a ring in the Lord of the Rings. Funny, I didn't feel like I was talking with the Son of Satan when I met White. I can't give June the Worst Mother of the Month title given the Casey Anthony drama, but I definitely give her honorable mention for what I see as her attempt to cash in by bashing her son in print.
