UFC President Takes Major Stand for Donald Trump — Conservatives Will Cheer


Dana White told Fox News he is fiercely loyal to the commander-in-chief partly because he helped MMA get its start


By Zachary Leeman | Monday, August 20, 2018

UFC President Dana White (shown above left) refuses to say anything negative about President Donald Trump.

“I’m never going to say anything bad about Donald Trump — ever,” White, 49, said on Fox News’ “Objectified” over the weekend.



He added, “That guy gave us our start when nobody wanted to talk to us.”


White revealed to host Harvey Levin that Trump was one of the first prominent supporters of the growing sport of MMA (mixed martial arts).

“He’s always been a friend to me,” White said.


White spoke on behalf of Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention and said the then-future president was loyal to both the UFC and White.

Trump was such a prominent supporter for UFC during its beginnings that he will be featured in an upcoming documentary celebrating the 25th anniversary of the sports league.

“It’s the 25th anniversary of the UFC and we’re doing 25 documentaries with 25 bada** directors for the 25th anniversary. And one of them is the story of how President Trump let us come to the Taj [Mahal] for the first fight, and he and I went to the residence after that, and he and I both shot for the documentary,” White recently told the podcast “UFC Unfiltered.”

He also recently visited the White House along with UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington.

Check out White’s comments about Trump in the video below.

He also reveals a former feud he had with billionaire and “Shark Tank” co-host Mark Cuban — and how he turned that into a modern friendship.
