Who’s Quietly Backing Trump? A Look Inside the UFC

UFC Boss Dana White Confirms He’s a Trump Cheerleader

The UFC owner, Dana White, is no secret about his admiration for former President Donald Trump.
He’s spoken at Republican events, attended Trump rallies and has made it clear that he’s probably the loudest fan in sports. Yet White says many fans would be surprised to discover which celebrities quietly back Trump.

“There are a lot of ‘closet supporters’ out there,” White told a radio host.
“People would be shocked to discover how many celebrities quietly favor Trump.”

The UFC’s fighters are no exception. During the 2024 Michigan election, several athletes publicly declared their support for Trump while still in the octagon—an arena usually reserved for pure sport.

Actor Dennis Quaid weighed in, criticizing Hollywood’s double standard.
He argued that some stars loudly oppose or praise the president, while many keep their views private. Quaid said society treats political opinions inconsistently, especially for public figures.

This conversation highlights a broader debate: should high‑profile individuals voice their political preferences, or is it better to stay silent? The question remains open, and fans continue to wonder who truly backs which side.
