The UFC head honcho recently appeared in an interview with Tucker Carlson. And one of the topics that they touched was the POTUS’ diet. The podcaster was flabbergasted when he got to know that Trump had nothing but Big Macs, Milky Ways, and Cokes, in his diet.
To add on top of that, White said, “Big Macs, Milky Ways, and Coke, that’s what he lives on. I’ve never seen him drink water, ever. I’m not saying he doesn’t drink water. But, I’ve never seen it.” He even narrated a time when he offered Trump some water, but the President of the USA opted for a Coke instead. And he is 78 years old!
Dana White said, “I think he’s a different animal. Because I was doing the same thing, minus the Coca-Cola, and I had one foot in the grave. And I’m 55. Okay? Not 78. He is a different animal. He is an absolute beast, this guy. Doesn’t sleep, he works hard, he flies everywhere…”

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is returning to Las Vegas to mark its 100th event in the city. With Neil Magny and Carlos Prates headlining the event, the world was wondering who would come forth to call the fights. Well, it’d be none other than Brendan Fitzgerald leading on the microphone with Michael Bisping and Laura Sanko beside him.
The news was shared by the famed MMA reporter, Jed Goodman, on X. He wrote, “Per ESPN PR, Brendan Fitzgerald will call the action alongside Michael Bisping and Laura Sanko. Charly Arnolt will handle reporting duties.” This would be one of the most exciting events in Vegas, don’t you agree?

Now, it’s time for the final story of the day. Let’s listen to everything that the UFC heavyweight champion had to say about Ngannou.
Jon Jones talks about Francis Ngannou’s contribution to UFC
Kevin Iole recently released a clip of Jon Jones talking about the matchup between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou. He said, “Miocic vs. Francis back in the day. It had the whole world excited of, like, how would this firefighter, right, what people like to call him, how would this 240-pound athlete go up? A guy like Francis is a larger-than-life character, you know, and they gave us a great, you know, a little saga or whatnot…”

However, ‘Bones’ believed that it was fighters like him and Miocic who helped White build the MMA promotion. Even though he has now reached the age of 37, Jones doesn’t believe that he should be counted out. And he feels the same for his 42-year-old opponent. He continued, “Styles makes matchups, and for the real long-term, MMA fans who grew up watching both Stipe and I compete, I think this fight was going to be intriguing to them.”
