UFC CEO Dana White and former President Donald Trump have a visible camaraderie that is frequently on display in public. Often, they grace each other in their respective fields of work. White, in particular, is often accused of being a firm supporter of the Republican party presidential candidate. However, the UFC CEO finally addressed such accusations.
Dana White and Donald Trump have a longstanding relationship dating back to the early days of UFC. Keeping that in mind, it’s no surprise that the 78-year-old Trump is given special respect. Some have alleged that Dana White is pro-Republican based on Trump’s prominent appearances at UFC events. However, the CEO of UFC clarified that he is not politically biased.
If (Joe) Biden came to a UFC event, I would treat Biden the same way! If Biden was there, we would cover the fact that the President of the United States… Or if (Barack) Obama, (George) Bush, any of those guys ever came to an event, we would treat them with the same respect. If a former or standing president of the United States shows up to your event, you show them respect.
