Coincidentally, White’s favorite fighter is also Jon Jones. White’s admiration for Jones has been a consistent theme in his recent interviews, where he often defends Jones’ status as the GOAT. Despite the inactivity, White claimed that Jones deserves the pound-for-pound number one position over Alex Pereira and Islam Makhachev.
Trump also mentioned former UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov in that list. The ex-POTUS discussed his recent meeting with the Dagestani. It took place at UFC 302, where Trump, as usual, got a massive welcome from fight fans. This was just a clear indicator of the relationship between Trump and the UFC.
Dana White puts Donald Trump over Jon Jones as the toughest human being
Dana White is a huge supporter of Donald Trump and has always been public about it. Trump helped UFC when nobody did, and White is one lifelong indebted to the ex-POTUS. Over the years, Trump has had numerous appearances in the UFC, and White has returned it by backing Trump’s political campaign.
Trump has spoken at Trump’s RNC events multiple times, providing powerful and moving speeches. Recently, he slammed Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, for her public remarks. According to White, Trump is the toughest human, maybe more than his favorite, Jon Jones.
He is one of the toughest, most resilient human beings that I have ever met in my life…This guy is the legitimate, ultimate American bada** of all time.
