UFC president Dana White confirmed he will meet former President Donald Trump after the former leader suggested the mixed‑martial‑arts executive could serve as White House press secretary.
White, who has overseen the world’s biggest combat sports promotion for more than two decades, said the meeting would take place at a private venue in Washington, D.C. He added that he was open to discussing the idea, though he has not yet decided whether to accept the role.
Trump’s comment came during a recent interview in which he praised White’s media savvy and charisma, noting that the UFC’s top executive could “handle the press better than most” politicians.
White has long been a public figure, known for his blunt speaking style and high‑profile appearances on television and in film. His willingness to step into a political position has sparked speculation among commentators and fans alike.
While White has not ruled out a future in politics, he said he remains focused on expanding the UFC’s global reach and developing new talent within the sport.
