Donald Trump offers UFC President Dana White U.S. press secretary job
UFC President Dana White has a new job offer on the table
On November 7, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that UFC President Dana White had been offered the position of U.S. Press Secretary. White, known for his violent fighting style, would bring assistants including Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris to the role.
Trump emphasized the need for these individuals to defend against the "Lunatic Left." The pair have been friends for over two decades, attending numerous UFC events together. In response to the offer, White announced on his Instagram story that he accepted the position, joking about the absurdity. The move would likely be a significant pay cut for White, who is already a multi-millionaire, and is renowned for his expertise in organizing successful fight cards.
However, President Trump's seriousness about appointing White to this role is considered highly unlikely.
