UFC supremo Dana White and Donald Trump share a connection that dates back to two decades ago when both of them were just businessmen. In fact, Trump was one of the first tycoons who allowed White to conduct UFC events in one of his hotels, The Taj. Hence, both of them share a warm relationship.

Habitually, both men share a word or two about each other whenever they stumble upon each other’s names. The same happened in the latest episode of the Nelk Boys’ Full Send Podcast, where Trump had some really good things to say about White.

“He’s done an incredible job… I’ve been with Dana (White) for a long time, he’s been my friend for a long time,” Trump said.

“I tell you, I don’t know what would happen with UFC without him. That’s one man, they say ‘you can always replace somebody’. I’m not sure if that man is replaceable.”

When asked about what will happen to the UFC when Dana White is gone, Trump replied, “Well, he’ll be there for a long time. So we are not gonna have to worry about that, right?”

Dana White slammed Trump supporter Colby Covington for his brand of promotion

Colby Covington, the UFC’s welterweight villain, who has been making rounds in the promotion for the last couple of years partly because of his extraordinary performances and wholly because of his trash-talking persona was criticized by the UFC President himself for breaking the man code.

It was after his dominant win over his bitter rival Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272 that Covington, who is the self-proclaimed Donald Trump’s favorite fighter, started spewing some really harsh words towards Dustin Poirier and his family.

This did not sit right with White, who agreed with Masvidal and accepted that ‘Chaos’ went too far with his words this time.

“I agree with that, too… It’s called man code. You either have it or you don’t,” White stated.
