Donald Trump made a striking public appeal to UFC president Dana White on November 7, suggesting the longtime ally step into the role of White House press secretary. The former president described White as "the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior" and encouraged him to assemble a team that included several prominent mixed martial arts figures.

Unexpected pitch on social media

The announcement came via Truth Social, where Trump listed names such as Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harris. He added that some of those individuals are not from the United States, framing the offer as part of a bold new direction for his communications team.
