UFC CEO, Dana White has always been outspoken, for which he often makes the headlines. This time again, he made an intriguing comment on who is the โgreatest fighter of all timeโ and itโs not Jon Jones. The UFC CEO named ex-POTUS Donald Trump as the greatest fighter which left everyone puzzled.
Dana White shares a great camaraderie with the ex-POTUS. As such, they have often been seen together in their respective fields of work. Recently, White attended an interview session with FOX News Channelโs One Nation with Brian Kilmeade. During that brief interview, Kilmeade asked the UFC CEO where Trump ranks in his eyes.
Number one. Number one, take any of the greatest fighters of all time. Trump is number one, the most resilient human being that I have ever met in my life.

Interestingly, this is not the first when the UFC CEO has heaped praises on Trump. In one such instance, White even gave an introductory speech for the ex-POTUS at the recently concluded Republican National Convention. The show of support is likely linked to the upcoming elections in the United States.
Dana Whiteโs unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump is quite commendable. Interestingly for that loyalty, the UFC CEO has always been under intense scrutiny from the mainstream media. In one instance, the media outlets even accused White of being a pro-Republican, although he has always denied those accusations. However, this recent praise of Trump by the UFC CEO has caused quite a stir in the community.

When it came to naming, one of the greatest fighters, Dana White always seemed a bit inclined towards the UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. As such, the UFC CEO even had several verbal altercations with reporters who questioned his favoritism. The fight fans were seemingly shocked hearing White naming someone else in those types of conversations.
Several netizens even highlighted Whiteโs love and loyalty towards Trump, for which he even snubbed Jones. Moreover, some even made humorous remarks and stated that the UFC CEO dropped new P4P rankings. Check out some of the reactions below.

Does Dana White not know George Washington was the most active champion? Who has Trump beat? His only victory is against a woman! And his next win is going to also be against a woman! Washington beat every other top champion. Lincoln is the only one that can be next to the GOAT.

Some fight fans in particular pointed to Jon Jonesโ retirement saga as the UFC heavyweight recently mentioned retiring after his legacy fight. Per Jones, his upcoming fight against Stipe Miocic would be his last fight in the promotion. However, now it remains to be seen how the UFC bossman feels about that.
