UFC president Dana White expressed his strong admiration for Donald Trump following his victory in the U.S. elections on Wednesday. Trump, who declared his triumph in Florida after securing a significant lead over Kamala Harris on November 6, has received consistent backing from White throughout his campaign. White, who has been an outspoken supporter of Trump, described him as "the most resilient man" he has ever encountered.
Throughout the campaign, Dana White lent his unwavering support to Trump, making multiple public endorsements and praising the 78-year-old’s perseverance.
"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 all my life. His family are incredible people. This is karma, ladies and gentlemen. They deserve it as a family," White said, referring to Trump's victory.
Dana White is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the sports world. Under his leadership, the UFC has evolved from a niche mixed martial arts organization into a global sports powerhouse. A major contributor to the UFC's success is its international expansion, which has significantly broadened the sport's appeal. Unlike American football, which remains primarily popular in the U.S., MMA enjoys a global fanbase, thanks in part to UFC events hosted in countries like China, Brazil, and various parts of Latin America. This worldwide reach has played a pivotal role in the UFC's rise, and its massive social media following reflects this success. For instance, the UFC now boasts over 15 million Instagram followers, surpassing the NFL in the process.
Donald Trump's victory
Donald Trump secured a comfortable victory from Republican party defeating Kamala Harris who represented Democratic party. Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, marking a remarkable political comeback for a former president who had previously refused to concede defeat, instigated a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, faced felony convictions, and survived two assassination attempts. With a win in Wisconsin, Trump secured the 270 electoral votes needed to reclaim the presidency.
His victory is a testament to the effectiveness of his combative political style. Throughout the campaign, he relentlessly targeted his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, with deeply personal attacks that many criticized as misogynistic and racist, while painting a grim vision of a nation overwhelmed by violent immigrants.
This blunt, hypermasculine rhetoric struck a chord with disillusioned voters, particularly men, in an increasingly divided country. As president, Trump has promised to overhaul the federal government and pursue retribution against those he sees as his political adversaries.
