White reacted to it by saying, “It’s madness, man. The whole world is crazy right now. And I don’t know what to think and I don’t know enough about it and I haven’t talked to him.”

“I’ve only seen bits and pieces on the news. So I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I’ll probably call him in the next couple of days.”

“I didn’t want to call him, like I’m sure he’s, you know, got better f**king things to do than for me to call and say ‘Hey, what’s going on over there?’ But I will talk to him in the next couple of days.”

A journalist further mentioned how people have been talking about living in a post-constitutional America or banana republic. To this, White replied, “… there’s ten other people’s houses that probably should have been raided before his that haven’t happened.”

The businessman and television personality is a huge fan of the UFC and has even attended some big fights. However, when the promotion just started out, MMA, as a sport, wasn’t big. Hence, it was difficult for the UFC to find venues for events.

During such a time, Trump offered Dana White his Taj Mahal- his casino in Atlantic City, to organize fights. Thus, over the years, their friendship has only grown.

Additionally, UFC fighters like Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal also have respect for the forty-fifth President and talk about him often.
