It is 2024, and the political arena in the United States is as heated as ever. Donald Trump, the man who once graced WWE rings as a guest, is gearing up for another verbal sparring match. His opponent is none other than Kamala Harris. And UFC CEO Dana White has some thoughts about this interaction
White recently talked about Trump’s debate against Kamala Harris. He revealed that the former POTUS did not take the debate lightly and prepared well. The UFC CEO further gave his own two cents on the matter.
”No I haven’t seen it but I’ll tell you this, he [Trump] called me an hour before the debate. I talked to him… First of all, it’s the second time he has to debate. He already did a debate, they didn’t like how the debate turned out…I don’t know how it went or what happened but I know he took it seriously, he said,’ I look at this is like a heavyweight fight. I’m not taking anybody lightly’,’ said White via DWCS post-fight press conference
White further highlighted an interesting twist in this political bout. Harris, who wasn’t elected for this specific role, was stepping in as a last-minute replacement for Biden. Plus, the debate would only be aired on ABC.
Moreover, White also revealed that he didn’t actually watch the debate as he was too busy with the UFC 306 preparations. The American voters will decide the outcome of the debate. But one thing’s for sure: in the world of politics, sometimes it really does feel like a heavyweight bout.
Dana White Shares The Reason For Supporting Donald Trump

According to Dana White, this isn’t just a political endorsement; it’s about respecting a longstanding friendship. He recently gave Yahoo Sports a deep dive into his support for former President Donald Trump.
“As far as talking about politics, everybody knows my longtime friendship and history with Donald Trump. Otherwise, you don’t really see me out there being very political or trying to jump on any of these political shows,” said White.
Dana White’s straightforward approach is refreshing. His loyalty to Trump stems from personal respect rather than political alignment. In a world where politics often overshadows personal relationships, White’s take is a reminder that friendships can transcend political boundaries.
