The former Welterweight champion went on a 13-unbeaten fight run beginning from his UFC debut, which ended in a defeat at the hands of GSP. He was the torchbearer of the UFC in its early days with Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, Rich Franklin, and B. J. Penn. Recently, Shields tweeted about the revival of the 45th President of the USA, Donald J. Trump’s Twitter account.

Former president Donald Trump remains a long and loyal friend of Dana White, the president of UFC. Trump is quite a controversial figure. He has always found himself in the headlines. Although he was elected by the public majority, Donald Trump faced impeachment twice during his tenure.

Dana White’s good friend Trump

Dana White is the president of the UFC; he took over the organization back in 2001. In his own words, in the beginning, the image of UFC was tarnished due to the vicious nature of the sport. White was having a hard time finding a venue for his events.

This is when Donald Trump helped him out. He let White organize his first two events at Donald Trump’s ‘Taj Mahal’ in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Trump even attended the entire event, sitting through the last fight.

This took their friendship to a new level, with White even speaking to the Republic National Convention crowd back in 2016.
