Dana White says UFC will donate $1 million dollars to Las Vegas victims

The UFC will kindly donate $1 million to the families of those affected by Sunday's mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, according to president Dana White.

"At the end of the day, this is our city -- we love this place," White told ESPN. "The first thing when we got up this morning, everybody, personally, got it together and made sure anybody they know or love was OK. Then we came in here and made sure all of our employees are OK.

"Then you start thinking about this city, our hometown, and we felt we needed to do this. This is something we needed to do."

In addition to the $1 million donation, a planned UFC 216 pay-per-view event on Saturday inside T-Mobile Arena will be "dedicated to the entire city of Las Vegas," White said.
