Trump Offers UFC Chief Dana White White House Press Secretary Role; White Declines

Analysed 8 Nov 2026·45 sources analysed·London, United Kingdom·Politics
Trump Offers UFC Chief Dana White White House Press Secretary Role; White DeclinesPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump publicly offered UFC President Dana White the role of White House press secretary, urging him to bring several UFC fighters as assistants to help defend the administration against political opponents. Trump described White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior" and named fighters including Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev. White shared a photo of himself at the White House podium but has not confirmed acceptance. Reports indicate White declined the offer, though he planned to meet Trump to discuss it. The press secretary position has been vacant since October amid recent White House staff changes.
