BIG DADDY SPLASH
Dana White spends almost £1million on ‘best party ever’ for son’s 16th birthday
UFC supremo joined by music stars at rooftop pool on Las Vegas Strip - and gives son a customised Land Rover Defender
UFC president Dana White threw his son in the middle of the bling - with a $1million (£760,000) party for his 16th birthday.
The mixed martial arts bigwig claimed the rooftop pool bash at Las Vegas Strip was "the best party I have ever been to in my life".

And it was all because he wanted to make sure Aidan's celebrations surpassed the 16th birthday events of his younger son, the same-named Dana, last year.
Aidan's treats included popular local musical acts Migos, Everlast, DJ Carnage, and A$AP Rocky, according to a report in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
White told the Las Vegas Review Journal: “We were wondering how we were going to top Dana’s party - but we did it.
“We’ve done nothing like this. Not even close.”

The launch of the £760k party was as under-stated as everything that followed.
White said: “They brought out the big red button and we hit that. And a bunch of those high-pressure steam cannons went off
“That brought the crowd from the pool inside. It was awesome.”
Aidan was later handed a UFC-style championship belt and at one stage even hinted he could have a go at the real thing himself - as he threw himself in the crowd.

The six-hour party was at Drai's nighclub, owned by White's friend Victor Drai.
And when White says it was his best party ever he certainly has plenty of extravagant set-ups to compare it with.
Most obviously, he once held a circus-themed party where elephants ended up eating trees and someone rung the police - presumably via a trunk call.
In contrast, all poor Dana Jr got last year was a huge party at Las Vegas’ Brooklyn Bowl, featuring American rapper Kendrick Lamar. That's rough, daddy.
