UFC CEO Dana White has spoken out about former U.S. President Donald Trump, with whom he has been friends for more than two decades.
In an interview with Fox News White said:
He showed up for the first fight and stayed until the last fight for both events. He's a guy who would reach out to me my entire career when good things happen and say, 'Hey, congratulations. I always knew you were going to do it.' You take any of the greatest fighters of all-time, Trump is No. 1. The most resilient human being that I've ever met in my life.
Recall, the UFC Fight Night 242 tournament will take place in Las Vegas on the night of September 8, the main event of which will be a welterweight bout between Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady.
In the second co-main event of the evening, former women's bantamweight champion Jessica Andrade and Natalia Silva will share the octagon.
