UFC CEO Dana White said in a new interview that was published this week that he is finished with politics for good after President-elect Donald Trump won re-election this month, saying he wants nothing to do with the political world.
“I’m never f***ing doing this again,” White said. “I want nothing to do with this s***. It’s gross. It’s disgusting. I want nothing to do with politics.”
White made the remarks during an interview with The New Yorker that profiled Trump’s relationship with the UFC and how showing up to fights helped him connect with young male voters — one of the key demographics that propelled him to victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Donald Trump is tougher and more badass than anybody,” White told the interviewer. “You can only pray that you’re a quarter of the man that Donald Trump was when a guy tried to take seven shots at his head with a high powered rifle with a f***ing scope on it.”

White not only provided a platform for Trump at UFC fights, he also made appearances at some of Trump’s most important events, like his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York and the Republican National Convention.
“As the U.F.C. has grown, there’s been a lot of people that have jumped on the bandwagon and became fans,” White said. “Trump was there from the beginning.”
Trump regularly attends UFC fights with his closest allies, which have recently included Elon Musk, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Kid Rock, and more.
White noted that Trump attending fights and going on popular podcasts played a significant role in his victory over Harris.
“You’re getting conversations in these podcasts, and you yourself, as a young kid, get to really see who Donald Trump is,” White explained. “Not the bulls*** you hear from the far-left media.”
