Dana White has been one of Donald Trump‘s most vocal supporters, especially ahead of the upcoming U.S. elections. Their relationship spans nearly two decades, with White consistently backing Trump, whom he believes can save the country. Despite this strong endorsement, the UFC CEO remains perplexed by the ongoing criticism surrounding Trump’s personality.
Trump helped UFC when nobody believed in the business and hosted several fights in his Trump Taj Mahal. Since then, Dana White has maintained a close relationship with the billionaire and claims to know him both inside and outside. In a recent interview, the 55-year-old talked about the character assassination of Trump after his presidential run.
The narrative that has been flipped on Donald Trump is one of the craziest things I have ever seen…From 20 years of experience, Donald Trump is a good person. I would never back a guy who is a racist….or wanted to start WW3.

White challenged Trump’s critics to produce any video evidence proving the presidential candidate is racist. He also recalled a moment when the legendary Mike Tyson publicly declared his support for Trump. According to White, some of those opposed to Trump’s ideology suffer from psychological issues, leading to assassination attempts.

After the July shooting incident involving Trump, White publicly praised his longtime friend, commending his resilience and bravery. Numerous UFC stars, including Conor McGregor, Sean Strickland, and Colby Covington, also expressed their support. As expected, the strong backing from UFC fighters and fans for Trump was once again clearly visible.
UFC superstar gives Donald Trump the N-Word pass
Donald Trump is a huge fan of MMA and currently likes it more than boxing. He understands the sport inside and out and believes it’s more energetic and competitive in comparison to boxing. Over the years, he has visited UFC events on various occasions and has always received a glorious welcome.
UFC fans love to see Trump in the house and have often shown their support with loud anti-Biden chants. As mentioned, he is also welcomed by UFC fighters, who often shake hands with the former president after winning their bouts. At UFC 302, UFC middleweight Kevin Holland did the same and also talked about giving Trump the N-word pass.
I just told him ‘What’s up, Mr. President,’ and he was like ‘What’s up my n****,’ So it was good. Trump, if you ever wanna say that, you can say that. I give you the black card right here, right now my boy.

At UFC 302, Holland secured a brutal armbar finish and later shared that he had apologized to Trump for not greeting him during their first encounter. Meanwhile, UFC fans are eagerly anticipating Trump’s upcoming appearance on Joe Rogan‘s podcast. As the election approaches, it’s clear that Trump’s connection to the UFC could help him garner a significant number of votes.
