Amid the vote count for the 2024 US presidential election, a familiar face from the MMA world accompanied President-elect Donald Trump: Dana White. Accompanied by the Republican tycoon at his luxury resort in Palm Beach, Florida, the UFC president was one of the most famous figures present during the march of the numbers – which has been taking place for days in the United States.
The relationship between the big shots is not recent, on the contrary. The two are long-time friends. In fact, Trump has participated in UFC events and closely followed the organization's fights, always alongside Dana.

“Nobody deserves this more than him and nobody deserves this more than his family. That’s what happens when the machine comes after you. What you’ve seen over the last few years is what it looks like. They can’t stop him, he keeps moving forward, he doesn’t give up. He’s the most resilient, hard-working man I’ve ever met in my life. His family is made up of incredible people. That’s karma, ladies and gentlemen. He deserves this. They deserve this as a family. Thank you, America!” (see video below)
