The world was left reeling when news broke of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The 78-year-old was addressing a crowd of supporters when the atmosphere suddenly turned deadly as a gunman allegedly fired eight shots in his direction. Miraculously, Trump was not severely harmed, though one of the bullets grazed his ear, leaving him bleeding before Secret Service agents swiftly intervened, whisking him away to safety.

UFC CEO Dana White displayed his shock at the event. For the unversed, Trump was instrumental in bringing UFC on the map during the promotion’s dark ages. White expressed his outrage, especially considering that innocent attendees at the rally were also affected by the chaos. So, what did the million-dollar-worth UFC boss do? He helped out Donald Trump to donate money to all the victims. The boss even explained why he did so let’s take a glimpse at a side of Dana White that we don’t get to see very often in the limelight.

Dana White addresses the reason for his donation to the victims of Trump’s assassination attempt

UFC President Dana White recently sat down for an in-depth conversation on Outta Pocket with RGIII, covering a wide range of topics from his business empire to American politics and more. The discussion turned serious when White addressed the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, an incident that had shaken the nation.

Host Robert Griffin III asked White about his contributions to the victims of the assassination attempt, noting White’s history of philanthropy. In his signature straightforward manner, White humbly responded, admitting he couldn’t even recall how much he had donated.

The head honcho further explained, “That is true right? I don’t remember how much I donated but I did. I donate every day to something and I just did the North Carolina hurricane donated to that and there is always something every day. We are one of those companies and I donate a lot of stuff. We are not the guys who just run around with the big cheques. Taking pictures and all that sh** I just; don’t believe in that. I believe you do it because you want to do it. You know because you should do it.”

According to The Independent, Dana White quietly donated $50,000 to a GoFundMe campaign set up and approved by Donald Trump for victims of the assassination attempt. The fundraiser ultimately garnered an impressive $4.3 million from over 56,000 donors. White wasn’t alone in his generosity””Kid Rock and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy also contributed significant amounts to the cause.

The ex-POTUS had also visited North Carolina post the hurricane for updates on the situation. There, he addressed an array of questions about his comments on the federal emergency management agency. Hurricane Helene saw a lot of devastation in the state but the UFC World stood up in solidarity along with the UFC boss. One of those stars was Conor McGregor who joined hands with the BKFC president to provide help for the victims.

In a previous Instagram story shared by Conor McGregor, BKFC head honcho David Feldman stated a verdict. He said, “What I’m gonna do personally is I’m gonna start a GoFundMe, and we’re gonna raise to $20,000 for it. And I’m gonna match that $20,000. Yep. I’ll match that personally. So whatever if we can raise 20,000, I’ll match the 20,000 and we’ll distribute it to the people that are inside of our organization and outside of our organization as fans that got affected by the hurricane and we’ll help them out. “

McGregor immediately jumped in to help and captioned the post in the story by writing, “Put me down for 20k also! Prayers up for North Carolina.” This statement was simple yet powerful as it spoke volumes about the Irishman’s willingness to stand alongside people in need. For the unversed, the ferocious category 4 storm had devastated 6 states and millions of people lost communications and power alongside hefty property damage. 

Interestingly, the same GoFundMe page proved useful again when Trump used it to aid survivors of Hurricane Helene’s devastation, with Dana White stepping up once more, this time donating $100,000. White’s consistent support for those in need, while avoiding the spotlight, shows his genuine dedication to making a difference without seeking recognition.

So UFC is not just about million-dollar fights and payouts, and the boss makes sure that he gives money to the right places. What do you think about his gesture? Tell us in the comments below.
