Dana White claims UFC fighters and fanbase are aligned in their opinion of Donald Trump: "Media has created this divide"

Dana White is convinced that the UFC fighters and fans' affinity towards Donald Trump is not politically motivated, but comes from a place of common sense. If one thing is for certain, Trump is an astute fan of combat sports and regularly attends major pay-per-views set up by White & Co.

Every time he makes an appearance at UFC events, the former president is received with thunderous applause.

However, with the 2024 presidential elections heating up, numerous prominent public figures including Hollywood actors and politicians have branded Trump a negative influence on American democracy. Suffice it to say White doesn't subscribe to this narrative.

Talking to Fox News on why the former POTUS is beloved among the MMA community, White said:

"Well, the thing is with our fan base and our fighters, we are all very aligned in life and everything else. It's not that it's any real political side, we're for common sense. It's all everybody is looking for."

White added:

"Everybody wants the same thing and anybody in this room, if you let go of the media BS go away, we all want to make a good living, we all want to get a house, we want some nice cars, we want kids, we want to take care of our kids... Everybody wants the same thing, it is not that we don't. It is just the media has created this divide in this country that needs to go away and hopefully soon it will."

The UFC CEO is a staunch Trump supporter and even had the opportunity to introduce the 78-year-old at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee (RNC), Wisconsin, earlier this year.

When Dana White dubbed Donald Trump the "most resilient human being"

Dana White believes that Donald Trump's third bid at being president is not motivated by individual ambition but by the love for his country.

During the RNC, the MMA promoter hyped up the crowd, laying down why he believes the former president is the best man to lead the nation. As White sees it, Trump is one of the toughest people he has ever known:

"I'm not telling you what to think, I'm telling you what I know and I know President Trump is a fighter... I'm in the tough guy business and this man is the toughest most resilient human being that I've ever met in my life. The higher the stakes, the harder he fights and this guy never, ever, gives up."
