Donald Trump recently appeared on the ‘Full Send Podcast’ where he had some great things to say about White. As per him, White is one of the most important people at the promotion. Trump said, “… I don’t know what would happen with UFC without him. That’s one man, they say you can always replace somebody, I am not sure that man is replaceable.”
While many may agree with Trump’s opinion, it seems like there is somebody who could replace White in the UFC. In a new interview with ‘My Mom’s Basement with Robbie’, Dana White spoke about a person who could be his successor. White said, “There is a guy. There’s one guy, you know. There’s certain things that I do that he wouldn’t be able to do but the important things that get done over there is what really matters. And this guy could absolutely positively do it.”
However, White didn’t reveal any name because, according to him, nobody would know who he was. Hence, the interviewer questioned whether it was a behind-the-scenes-guy. White confirmed it.
