UFC president Dana White has flaunted his new ripped physique after being told he needed to lose weight or risk an early death.
White, 53, has dropped 30lbs after being informed he could have as little as 10 years left to live.
White was given the stark warning after meeting with Gary Brecka of 10X Health Systems, who estimated his life expectancy based on blood and DNA samples.

White told the Action Junkeez podcast: "This guy can take your blood and your DNA and tell you when you're going to die, and they're right within a month.
"I connect with this guy, and they come in and they do my blood work and they scrape the insides of your cheeks to do your DNA. And the following Wednesday is when my results are supposed to be back.
"So, he calls me [and says] I’m going to come out personally and walk you through your blood work. He ends up coming out, he sits down for three and a half hours and goes through my blood work."
White was shocked to learn that he had been given just over 10 years left to live.
"I'm all f****ed up. Everything that can be bad can be possibly bad. He gave me 10.4 years to live," added White.
"This was 16 weeks ago and he said to me 'If you don't change these things, this is your life expectancy.' He told me everything that was wrong with me, s*** I hadn't even told my wife.
"And he says, 'If you do everything I tell you to do for the next 10 weeks it will change your life.' I did everything he said to the letter, and I lost 30lbs.
"Everything is gone in 10 f***ing weeks, I have been working with doctors for 10 years and they haven't been able to do anything. This guy is incredible and he can literally change your life.
"I feel like I’m 35 years old again. Swear to god, I feel like I'm 35 again."
White took to social media on Sunday to show off his slimmed down physique, posting a picture of himself topless in the gym alongside a video of himself talking about his incredible transformation.
Fans were blown away by his impressive six-pack.
"Insane transformation!," posted one fan on Twitter.
Another added: "Been seeing Dana leaning out. Good to hear he's healthy."
While a third wrote: "This is great to see. I'm glad Dana is prioritising his health and overall wellness."
