UFC President Dana White has often credited Donald Trump as one of his main supporters. He recently offered some insight into how he helped further Trump’s political career by rallying behind him. He revealed how he was able to support him even though he was warned not to do it. Dana White recently donated a huge amount of money at a store.
Dana White reveals the reason
Dana White recently featured in a sit-down with Teddy Atlas and Ken Rideout on ‘THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas‘. He discussed his links with former POTUS Donald Trump when questioned about it and admitted that he was cautioned against aligning himself with the Republican. He also revealed that after he spoke about Trump at Convention, their friendship strengthened:
“[Donald Trump] calls me up and says, ‘I would like you to speak for me at the convention.’ Everybody and I mean f***ing everybody told me not to do it. I’m like, ‘Are you crazy, man?.’ Just for the record, when Trump called me he said, ‘Uh, listen, if you don’t want to do this, I completely understand. It’s no big deal. But I would be honored if you would speak at the convention’. Yeah, there’s no f***ing way in hell I’m not doing that for him. Then once I spoke, you know, our friendship went to a whole another level,” said Dana White.
The Republican National Convention in Cleveland back in 2016 saw White rally behind Donald Trump. White spoke minutes before Trump was nominated as the presidential candidate. In his speech, White highlighted his relationship and history with the business tycoon.
