Dana White thinks Donald Trump is the “best fighter ever.” No, critically. He mentioned that.
The connection between White and the three-time GOP nominee has been properly documented. In White’s early days of attempting to show the Final Combating Championship into the worldwide juggernaut it’s right now, the UFC CEO struggled to guide venues as the game was rapidly labeled as barbaric and likened to human cockfighting.
Trump was one of many few pals of the group keen to open his doorways and permit the promotion to run at his venues. White by no means forgot that and continues to sing the praises of the previous U.S. president in interviews and repeatedly rolls out the crimson carpet each time ’45’ attends a UFC occasion.
“He confirmed up for the primary battle and stayed until the final battle for each occasions,” White mentioned in an interview with FOX Information. “He’s a man who would attain out to me my total profession when good issues occur and say, ‘Hey, congratulations. I at all times knew you have been going to do it’” (h/t BJPenn.com).
Dana White calls Trump the ‘most resilient human being’ he’s ever met
White believes we acquired an actual sense of Trump’s power in July when an assassination try in Butler, Pennsylvania practically took the embattled millionaire’s life. Trump was struck within the ear and was virtually pressured off stage by the Secret Service whereas pumping his fist within the air and yelling “Combat!”
“Primary,” White mentioned whereas discussing the place Trump ranks among the many best fighters ever. “You’re taking any of the best fighters of all time, Trump is No. 1. Essentially the most resilient human being that I’ve ever met in my life.”
Two days after the assassination try, Trump accepted the GOP’s nomination for president on the Republican Nationwide Conference in Milwaukee. White was available to talk on behalf of his good friend, simply as he did in 2016.
After getting voted out of the White Home in the course of the 2020 election, Trump will try and as soon as once more take up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this fall.
