UFC CEO Dana White to Meet President Trump Regarding Press Secretary Role

Published

The story

President Donald Trump recently publicly offered the role of White House press secretary to UFC CEO Dana White. In a social media post, the President also suggested several MMA figures—including Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris—as potential assistants for White to consider for the administration.

While reports surfaced suggesting White had already declined the appointment, the UFC executive countered those claims during a press event in London. White confirmed he is currently en route to Washington, D.C., to hold a formal meeting with the President this coming Monday. White indicated that further information regarding his potential involvement in the administration would likely be available following that discussion.
