Dana White blown away by Trump—Is this the most unexpected bromance in sports and politics?

The world went into shock with the news about the assassination attempt on the former POTUS, Donald Trump, began circling the internet. Needless to say, the netizens and his followers took a literal sigh of relief when Trump walked out with just a flesh wound to his ear at the rally on the 13th of July. And Dana White was one of them. No doubt, the UFC head honcho was pretty worried when he heard the news. But his pride in his friend was high, as well. After all, Trump didn’t seem to be fazed by the failed assassination attempt. 

It took only moments for the former POTUS to bounce back. Nevertheless, he was rushed to the hospital following the event. Being a close friend of Trump, White felt pretty restless as he kept getting text messages while he was on a plane to Italy. As soon as the plane landed, he rang up Trump’s phone to ensure that he was okay. Without a doubt, the entire fighting community began standing up for Trump.

On the 15th of July, 2024, White sat down to talk on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’. Therein, McAfee asked White about Trump’s health and whether he wanted to go to UFC Denver, by any chance. The UFC CEO didn’t waste a single moment to say that Trump never planned on going to Denver. He blessed the arena with his presence only if White was present.

He’s literally one of the toughest, most bada** guys of all time. And listen, you don’t like him, you could say whatever you want about him. It is undebatable now, literally undebatable.”
