Dana White Makes Eyebrow-Raising Remark About Campaigning After Aiding Trump Win
HuffPost
The UFC boss helped the former president return to the White House but had a profanity-laced take on the process.
UFC boss Dana White said he’s throwing in the towel on campaigning after helping President-elect Donald Trump regain the White House.
“I’m never fucking doing this again,” White told the New Yorker in an article posted this week. “I want nothing to do with this shit. It’s gross.”
White is credited with a pivotal role in galvanizing the Trump vote among young men, many of whom are mixed martial arts fans. He gushed about the former president at the Republican National Convention and appeared onstage with him on the night of his election victory.
But last weekend as the combat sport world cheered Trump and his cronies at a UFC event in Madison Square Garden, White swore off fighting for another candidate.
“It’s disgusting,” he said. “I want nothing to with politics.”
