Khamzat Chimaev reveals Dana White's response to his DM after Donald Trump won 2024 elections: "I heard he would get a good position"

Khamzat Chimaev recently opened up about congratulating Dana White after Donald Trump won the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections. The Chechen-born fighter revealed White's response to his texts and expressed his admiration for the UFC CEO's incredible rise to the top.

Given that Trump and White share a close relationship, it was unsurprising to see the UFC CEO join the real estate baron's re-election efforts. White notably gave a speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) and introduced Trump on stage at the event. He also used his social media platforms to promote Trump and his campaign.

In a recent interview with Adam Zubayraev, Chimaev revealed his post-win conversation with White. Speculating that he sees White occupying a post in Trump's administration, Chimaev said:

"Well, I congratulated Dana White. As far as I know, he’ll get some [official] position... I heard he’ll get a good position up there. I'm happy for him. A man who used to work in a hotel served the guests, and he achieved such great success in life. He gives motivation to people."
