Moments after winning the U.S. presidency for the second time, Trump celebrated alongside White on the stage. During his victory speech, Trump surprisingly offered the floor to the UFC boss, who then delivered a compelling statement about the re-elected president.
Moreover, White also credited longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan for also endorsing and supporting Trump through and through.
“Nobody deserves this more than him and nobody deserves this more than his family. This is what happens when the machine comes after you. He keeps going forward, he does not quit. He is the most resilient man I have met in my life. His family are incredible people. This is karma ladies and gentlemen. He deserves this. They deserve it as a family,” White said.
“I wanna thank some people real quick. The Nelk Boys, Adin Ross, Theo von, Bussin with the Boys and last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan,” he added.
Dana White, CEO of the UFC, publicly thanked Joe Rogan for endorsing Donald Trump and contributing to his election victory.

Trump is close with Joe, Dana and the UFC
The relationship between Trump and the UFC have blossomed over the years. Apart from White and Rogan, some UFC fighters have also been vocal about their support for Trump, specifically, Colby Covington.
In return, Trump also supports the UFC as an organization. In fact, he even said during a recent appearance on the JRE podcast that he might consider watching Bo Nickal at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
With Trump re-elected as president, UFC fans can expect him and White or Rogan linking up again in the near future.
