In a Monday visit with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, UFC President Dana White gushed over his relationship with former President Donald Trump.
“I love him and appreciate that,” White explained, according to Mediaite. “Hopefully I’ve built a business over the last 22 years, that no matter who comes and goes we’ll last and continue to grow.”
UFC President Dana White has never been afraid to support his friend, Donald Trump.

“He’s a very very good friend of mine,” White continued. “Donald Trump has been such a good friend to me since the day I met him. When we bought this company, this company had such a bad stigma attached to it within the sport that we could not get into venues. Venues didn’t want us.”
White noted that the ex-president even offered one of his properties to White to help keep his fight empire running during the pandemic.
“He’s a sports guy, he loves sports. He offered us to come and do the event at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. We did two events with him. He showed up for the first fight; stayed for the last fight,” White said.
