Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Dana White, chief executive of UFC, is one of the stars of the new Roku original docuseries “Fight Inc.: Inside the UFC,” touted as an “unprecedented” insider’s look at the company, marking its 30th anniversary. Earlier this month, White — a well-known supporter of Donald Trump — played a starring role in different production: Trump’s first TikTok video. Following footage of the ex-president greeting fans at UFC 302 in Newark, N.J., on June 1, the video shows White with Trump backstage at the fight.
“The president is now on TikTok,” White says. “It’s my honor,” says Trump. White, in an interview with Variety to promote Roku’s “Fight Inc.,” didn’t answer a question about why Trump — who is running again for U.S.
president in 2024 against President Biden — is the best candidate for the office. Instead, he spoke about Trump as a longtime friend, going back to 2001 when Trump agreed to have UFC 30 hosted at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. “There’s lots of misconceptions about Donald Trump,” White said.
“I’ve had this incredible relationship with him for many years… You know, when we first bought [UFC], the stigma was so bad with the UFC that venues didn’t even want us. He reached out, cut a deal, showed up to the first fight, stayed to the last fight.” “You know, politics is very dirty. A lot of bad things are said about him, and all I can tell you is in my almost 25-year relationship with Donald Trump, he’s been an incredible friend,” White said.

Remember how we as a country mostly first learned about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal a couple years into the Donald Trump administration? Why not during the 2016 election? Well, maybe because Bill Clinton was apparently a frequent flyer on Epstein’s private jet, nicknamed the “Lolita Express”. It kiiiinda seemed like neither Trump nor Hillary Clinton could bring up the other’s connections to the billionaire pedophile without highlighting their own. And as he’s running again, Don still isn’t good with Epstein questions. Just see how he reacts to the idea of declassifying all the government’s info!
