Following his historic presidential win, Donald Trump was spotted celebrating with various high-profile figures, including the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White. Sources close to the Trump campaign have now revealed that the then-president-elect asked Dana White to consider taking a top job at the White House.
Dana White, who has been a longtime friend and supporter of Trump, was seen attending Trump's victory celebration at the New York Hilton Midtown. The UFC president was also a speaker at the Republican National Convention, where he publicly endorsed Trump for president.
According to reports, Trump was impressed by White's leadership skills and the success he has achieved with the UFC. White, who has been the president of the UFC since 2001, has overseen the growth of the organization into a global powerhouse, with a valuation of over $7 billion.
It is unclear what specific job Trump had in mind for White, but sources suggest that it could have been related to the administration's sports initiatives or White House events. White's experience in promoting and managing large events could have been valuable assets in this type of role.
However, it appears that White ultimately decided not to take the job offer. A spokesperson for the UFC could not be reached for comment on the matter, but sources close to White indicate that he was flattered by the offer but preferred to remain focused on his work with the UFC.
White's appearance at Trump's victory celebration was seen as a nod to the unlikely friendship between the two men. Trump, who has been a longtime fan of mixed martial arts, has often spoken publicly about his admiration for the UFC and its athletes.
