UFC president Dana White was reportedly not interested in serving as press secretary for President Donald Trump, according to a report from The Comeback. The mixed martial arts organization leader's name had surfaced in connection with the White House communications role, but sources indicate White does not want the position.
White has maintained a longstanding relationship with Trump, who was instrumental in helping the UFC gain early traction by hosting events at his Atlantic City venues. The UFC president has spoken at Republican National Conventions and publicly supported Trump's presidential campaigns.
Despite their personal and professional ties, White appears focused on his role leading the world's premier mixed martial arts promotion rather than pursuing a political communications position in the administration.
