Dana White shares reaction to the shooting incident while traveling to Italy

Dana White loves Italy, and we believe that because he often travels to that country to unwind and get away from the chaos of the UFC. But this time, while traveling to ‘Bel Paese’, he could not resist but react to Donald Trump serving the shooting in Pennsylvania as the former president probably has the closest relationship in the sporting world with the CEO of the world’s biggest MMA promotion. White posted the now-trending image of Trump, on Instagram, throwing his fist in the air while announcing that he will indeed accompany the former president at the Republican National Convention.

“I’m on a plane right now flying to Italy and my phone has been blowing up with text messages from people informing me [Donald Trump] was shot,” wrote Dana White. “I hope the weak coward that shot him gets what he deserves, and I can’t WAIT to stand up on stage with him on Thursday and introduce him at the Republican National Convention and tell the WORLD exactly the character of the friend and man I KNOW!!”
