'It's disgusting': UFC head fed up with politics after a 'decade of service to Team Trump'

Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has been a Donald Trump ally for many years. And he supported him in the 2024 presidential race.

But according to The New Yorker and the Daily Beast, White has grown fed up with politics.

White told The New Yorker, "I'm never f------ doing this again. I want nothing to do with this s---. It's gross. It's disgusting."

White's comments, according to the Daily Beast's Janna Brancolini, "came as Trump took a victory lap at last Saturday's UFC fight with an entourage that included Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and musician Kid Rock."

"White himself also joined their group after endorsing Trump at this year's Republican National Convention and stumping for him on the campaign trail," Brancolini reports. "The promoter has been loyal to Trump for years, after Trump agreed to host UFC fights at his since-bankrupt Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City back in 2001, when most venues considered cage fighting too violent."

Brancolini notes that White praised Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention," donated "$1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC" in 2020 and supported him again in 2024.

"That's nearly a decade of service to Team Trump," Brancolini observes. "But now that Trump is entering his second and presumably final term in office in January, suddenly White is ready to be done with politics."
