UFC head Dana White said former U.S. President Donald Trump follows the promotion's tournaments and knows most of the league's fighters.
This guy calls me twice a month and will talk to me for an hour about fighting. Things that have happened since the last time that we talked. And he knows everybody, what they did and who they fought last. He’s a huge fight fan. His favorite fighters? Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal," White said at a press conference after the UFC 287 tournament
