Dana White is a close friend of US President-elect Donald Trump and the UFC CEO has nothing but good things to say about him. However, during a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, White shared an interesting tidbit about Trump.
Interestingly, the billionaire businessman drinks little water and prefers aerated beverages like Coke instead. Speaking to Carlson, White elaborated on the politician's hydration habits, saying:
"Big Macs, Mikleyways, and Cokes... He'll sit at the fights with me all night. You're talking like six hours because he shows up for the prelims, we hang out in my backroom, then we walk out and we watch the fights. It's six hours. So I'll ask him, you want a water, [and he'll be like] no, no, no. And then somebody will bring him over a Coke and he'll drink Coke."

"I've never seen him drink water ever. I'm not saying he doesn't drink water, I'm just saying I've never seen it, and we're friends, and I've been around him a long time and a lot."

In contrast to Trump, White is highly conscious about his dietary habits. Earlier in 2022, he switched to a ketogenic diet on the advice of 10X Health Systems' Gary Brecka, a change the UFC head honcho claims to have helped him make great improvements to his overall health.
