WATCH: UFC President Dana White takes a cold plunge for 6 minutes in New York

UFC president Dana White recently took some time out to engage in an unconventional form of therapy - a six-minute cold plunge in New York.

The promotion's president prioritizes his physical and mental well-being as the UFC gears up for its much-anticipated return to Newark, New Jersey with the upcoming UFC 288 event.

In fact, over the past year, White has been working with a human biologist and mortality-modeling expert, Gary Brecka, to ensure that he is taking all necessary steps to maintain his health. This commitment to self-care is driven by Brecka's findings that the UFC president's lifespan was predicted to be only around 10 more years.

In an effort to support his health and wellness, Dana White has been exploring unconventional methods of self-care, including cold plunge therapy. Recently, the UFC supremo took to a 37-degree Fahrenheit (2.7-degree Celsius) cold plunge spa in New York, demonstrating his commitment to maintaining his well-being amidst a busy schedule.

This practice involves submerging oneself in icy water to promote physical and mental benefits, such as reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and enhancing mood.
