Wm. Hunter Campbell '11

What drew you to UFC and what do you like most about your work there?

In short, having the opportunity to work with Dana (White, President of UFC) every day on the core business matters is what makes this job great. I’ve always had a deep affinity for the sport, and the fight business in general, but there is nothing better than working with people you personally enjoy and respect. It’s also gratifying watching all the hard work lead to some very memorable events.

What do you want your legacy to be?

That’s a hard question, because at my age I don’t think it’s something many of us ponder with much frequency. However, my father, Donald Campbell, who has been a well-known litigator in town for some years, was recently presented the Presidential Award from the Nevada Bar, for his conduct, honesty and integrity which represents the highest standards of the legal profession. I had a front row seat watching him manage some of the most high-profile, bet the company cases, and he always put loyalty to his clients and friends, and ethical responsibility above everything else. I’d like to think when my career is over, people could say the same of me.

When you were a kid what did you want to be?

Having been born and raised in Las Vegas, it was always my dream to be a casino owner. My first real job was as a busboy, working for Michael Gaughan, Frank Toti and Tito Tiberti of Coast Casinos and I had such great respect for what they had built and more importantly, for how they ran the business and treated their employees. Prior to joining UFC full-time, I had an opportunity to work on cases for both Mr. Gaughan and Mr. Tiberti, and it will always be one of the highlights in my career.

If you could take back one sentence you’ve ever spoken, what would it be?

Unfortunately, there are too many to count! But, a few years back I read a terrific quote by Winston Churchill that reads: “We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.” So, I’m working on it.
