UFC president Dana White gave a passionate speech in support of the controversial Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump at the RNC last night and you can watch the full speech below.
It was an interesting decision by White to accept the invitation to speak given that the UFC’s new owner Ari Emanuel of WME is a noted democratic and his brother Rahm Emanuel was a former White House Chief Of Staff to current president Barack Obama.
It sould also be noted that White’s the first to admit that he’s “not a political guy” and had previously acknowledged that he didn’t agree with everything that Trump believed in.
However, it seems that Trump’s support of the UFC in the early days of Zuffa’s reign, when they were struggling to keep their heads above water, was appreciated by White, and this felt very much like he was returning the favor.
