| Dana White describes Donald Trump as 'the ultimate American badass' |
The president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will take place on Thursday night before Donald Trump - the day after his assassination - accepted the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump adopted Dana White, one of his supporters who support him outside of politics and the famous battle of sports that he controls, doing it in many live events of the year past where the court battle was fought. In an unprecedented and unique style similar to Trump, the UFC boss is doing the same thing as before, introducing his old friend at the end of the Republican National Convention.
Their friendship dates back to at least 2001.
Around the time, Mr. White, an Irish-American college dropout turned boxer, went from holding two mixed martial arts (MMA) championships to becoming UFC president.
MMA waits for setbacks. After U.S. Senator John McCain called it a "humanitarian joke" and led a campaign to ban the UFC, its events moved to smaller markets.
"The score is so bad that the stadiums don't want us. Arenas don't want us," Mr. White said in 2022. And when New Jersey approved the game in 2000, he continued, "Trump actually called us. He said, 'Come to me, do an event here. You're going to be at the Trump Taj Mahal.' Atlantic City's Casino and Hotel hosted the UFC 31 and UFC 32 MMA events, where Trump introduced the first fight, and will remain until the end of both seasons. Mr White Both events were supported by the company's profile and helped secure key locations for future events. Currently the largest MMA promotion in the world, the UFC is worth $12.3 billion.

White remained loyal to Trump as he transitioned from business to politics. praised his RNC colleague in a short but fiery speech in 2016 as a "hard worker" with "good business." "I know heroes," he said. "Donald Trump is a soldier, and I know he will fight for this country." endorsed it again at the 2020 RNC, citing Trump's record in office and saying "it is important to elect Brash and lack of research in language and style." [Expletive]” about mixing business and politics. No stranger to arguing with himself, he admitted last year that he slapped his wife while drunk and was caught on video at a New Year's party. Forgiven. As he faces the challenges of criminals, communities and others in the post-Trump administration, Mr. White is a guest at many special events.
In the past year, Trump has attended at least four such events, often making fighter-style entrances with background music and an entourage. His last scheduled appearance was scuttled this past Saturday by the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally. The UFC is replete with fighters who speak out in support of traditionally conservative values, including several self-described "pro-American patriots". Although it includes female fighters, the sport represents a hyper-masculinity that is arguably a good fit for the image generated by the Trump campaign. Each time Trump has been received with thunderous ovations from clearly partisan crowds and taken VIP seats close to the octagon, or main fighting ring. But it is likely that he will not be able to replicate the growing love in other sports, including those with a pro-Trump audience such as Nascar and the PGA Tour, or the WWE that used to be friends with Trump

However, the failed attempt to assassinate Trump, supported the re-election of his friend. "Everybody wants to act like a tough guy. But when [expletive] goes out, you know who's tough and who isn't," Mr. White said on the Pat McAfee Show this week. "This man is the fairest, worst, most American man of all time." According to a media report, Trump revised Thursday's opening speech after Saturday's shooting to call for greater unity. But if the speech of the previous meeting of Mr. White is anything to show, introducing him to the main event may not affect the same deal. Wrestling News Hulk Hogan also hears talk at the conference. But as one Trump aide put it, the first presidential run would be like "Hogan at Wrestlemania."
