Brecka drops some bombs in a 'Growing Up In Scientology' guest appearance

Grant Cardone. Gary Brecka. Dana White. Donald Trump. What a marriage. What a country.

Last week, Zach Arnold reported explosive details on the blockbuster legal battle between Dana White’s personal “biohacker” Gary Brecka and “billionaire” Power Slap partner Grant Cardone.

As Dana White ascends into the American oligarchy, we must pay close attention to the alliances he built on the way up. Cardone and Brecka have both been cornerstones of Dana’s climb to the top, but will they stay in his orbit now that he’s nearly at the top?

Battle of the Dana White Adjacent Influencers

When it comes to handicapping this battle of online influencers, keep in mind that Dana White appears to be closer to Gary Brecka than he is to Grant Cardone. Yes, Dana has appeared at Cardone’s 10x Growth Con (more on this below), but he has continued to talk up Brecka’s role in his “body transformation” after Brecka was no longer promoting Cardone’s 10x Health, including via the official UFC YouTube channel.

If anything, Brecka has become even more tightly aligned with the UFC since his split with Cardone. This video featuring UFC star Michael Chandler extolling the benefits of Brecka’s methods is a recent example.

Is this all just organic word-of-mouth… or… is there a deeper business relationship at play between Brecka and the UFC?

Recently, Brecka has been interviewed by Aaron Smith-Levin of Growing Up In Scientology and revealed more about his relationship with Dana White (and Joe Rogan). He also confirmed that the high-profile influencers who speak at Cardone’s 10x Growth Con events are very well-compensated by Cardone, although he didn’t specifically address (and may not know) what Dana White’s specific arrangement with Cardone might be.

Why is any of this of interest to our readers? It’s relevant to readers of The MMA Draw because it provides a revealing peek behind the curtain of the world of online influencers in which Endeavor/TKO and Dana White operate.

How much of what you see is real? How much of this is fake and phony? Who is pulling the puppet strings? Who’s the big fish? Who’s playing whom and what brands are being built off of fans’ money and enthusiasm?
