Dana White has banned nine fighters from the UFC, including an MMA legend who won the promotion's lightweight and welterweight titles.
White has created a billion-dollar company through his relentless and often ruthless approach.
He's no stranger to cutting fighters, with the UFC CEO famously banning a series of high-profile stars from the promotion.
Below is a list of fighters who have felt the wrath of the 56-year-old.
Paul Daley
Daley was one fight away from challenging Georges St-Pierre for the UFC welterweight title. Josh Koscheck was standing in the way of him competing for UFC gold.

But the Brit came up short, succumbing to Koscheck's superior wrestling skills.
Frustrated by the way the fight played out, Daley landed a sucker punch on Koshceck following the final bell.
White wasted no time in banning Daley, telling him he won't compete under the UFC banner ever again during the UFC 113 post-fight press conference.
Jason High
High was banned from the UFC after putting his hands on the referee following the conclusion of his bout against Rafael dos Anjos.

He thought the fight was stopped prematurely and subsequently pushed referee Kevin Mulhall.
Rousimar Palhares
Palhares will be remembered as one of the most lethal submission artists the sport has ever seen.
Advert
But he overstepped the mark when he forced Mike Pierce to tap.
Pierce tapped eight times before Palhares let go of the submission.
It wasn't his first offence, with White releasing him from the UFC despite the Brazilian's victory.
BJ Penn
Penn captured the UFC welterweight title then the UFC lightweight title and enjoyed a legendary run at 155lbs, beating Sean Sherk, Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez.
Advert
But a series of defeats tarnished his legacy, not to mention incidents outside of the cage, including a street fight in 2019, where he beat up a drunk man.
After seeing the video, White said Penn won't fight again for the UFC - telling him to focus on his personal life.
Matt Riddle
White took exception to Riddle's comments following his UFC release and vowed to never call him back again.
Advert
He said: "Matt Riddle did an interview before that fight where he said 'I smoke weed so that I don’t beat my children' then he tests positive for it. He’s a f**king moron."
Renato Sobral
Like Palhares, Sobral was banned from the UFC for holding onto a submission for too long.
He refused to let go of an anaconda choke in his fight with David Heath, resulting in his release.
Thiago Silva
Silva was banned from the UFC after he allegedly threatened his estranged wife with a gun in 2014.
He found himself embroiled in a four-hour stand-off with Florida police and a SWAT team.
All the charges against the Brazilian were dropped, but White declared he would never fight again in the UFC.
Wanderlei Silva
Silva was banned for life by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) after running away from a random drug test.
His lifetime ban, however, was overturned but following comments about the UFC and 'fight fixing', he was released and has never returned.
Igor Severino
Severino was disqualified on his UFC debut for biting his opponent. He was not only slapped with a nine-month suspension from the Nevada commission but also axed by the UFC.
