UFC Boss Dana White Calls It Quits on Politics

Dana White, the CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship, has been a long-time supporter of Donald Trump. He backed Trump in the 2024 presidential race, but recent reports suggest he's had enough of politics. White expressed his disdain to The New Yorker, saying, "I'm done with this. It's gross and disgusting. " This news comes after White joined Trump's entourage at a UFC fight, which included notable figures like Elon Musk and Kid Rock. White's loyalty to Trump goes back to 2001 when Trump hosted UFC fights at his now-bankrupt Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City.

Over the years, White has supported Trump publicly, including at the 2016 Republican National Convention and by donating $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC in 2020. Despite his past support, White seems ready to bow out of politics as Trump begins his second term. This change of heart raises questions about the attractiveness of political involvement and the toll it can take on individuals.
