Dana White went from managing fighters like Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell to becoming the longtime UFC President and part-owner of the promotion.

Most individuals in similar positions tend to be a bit reserved and walk on eggshells. However, the UFC's head honcho is very direct and usually says whatever he damn well pleases.

To play White, an actor would need to come off as authoritative and business-like, but also rough around the edges.

Dominic Toretto, the protagonist in the Fast in the Furious franchise, has a lot in common with White. Both came from relatively humble beginnings to assume leadership roles. They are also gruff, authoritative, and seem to value loyalty. Of course, Toretto is played by actor Vin Diesel.

Also, let's be honest, the fact that both White and Diesel are bald caucasian men in their 50s doesn't hurt either.

In a lot of ways, as Toretto, Vin Diesel has already played Dana White.
