President Donald Trump is in Miami, sitting cageside at his favorite live show on Earth: the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the pinnacle of the bloody sport of mixed martial arts. At his side is perhaps his best friend in the entire world, UFC President Dana White. The fights that night are electric: knockouts, cuts, blood all over the mats. At that very moment, Vice President J.D. Vance is in the final stages of failing peace talks with an Iranian delegation in Pakistan, but for a few short hours, the president has a front-row seat to a much more entertaining war. There is only one thing missing: Trump\u2019s favorite fighter.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=32\">Pope Leo XIV Warns of Dangers of AI, Need to \u2018Disarm\u2019 the Technology<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhite will get a chance to rectify that at this month\u2019s extravagant Freedom 250 celebration, featuring the first-ever UFC event on the White House\u2019s South Lawn. \u201cHe looks at me and says, \u2018Why is Derrick Lewis not on the White House [fight] card?\u2019\u201d White remembers of that April fight. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t like Derrick Lewis. He loves Derrick Lewis.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tLewis, for those unfamiliar, is a veteran heavyweight nicknamed \u201cthe Black Beast,\u201d infamous for ripping off his shorts at the end of fights. After one recent win, Lewis dropped trou, got on all fours, and hiked a leg in front of his defeated opponent\u2019s corner, pretending to piss on it like a dog. He is, in other words, an American hero, and all it took was that one question to make White spring into action. By the end of the night, Lewis was slated to fight at the White House.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tWatch the video interview below\t<\/h2>\n<p>\n\tThe upcoming cage match in honor of the country\u2019s 250th birthday was arranged at the behest of the president and will be put on by perhaps the single most important figure in American sports. At 56, White is no longer a small-time boxing coach from South Boston. He\u2019s not even the fast-talking Vegas card shark and fight promoter who first captured the eye of a certain real estate titan from Queens. He is the gateway to America\u2019s most intimate displays of violence, a multiplatform empire that he tells me will encompass \u201cevery way that you could possibly kick another person\u2019s ass.\u201d That business has intersected with some of the most powerful people in every corner of the world \u2014 after our interview, White casually told me he\u2019d lost a key matchup for the Freedom 250 event because Vladimir Putin called one of the Russian participants and told him not to perform at a site that represents the heart of a rival superpower.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTo best understand how White got to this place, you have to understand the allure of watching someone get punched in the face \u2014 or better yet, of doing it yourself. I\u2019ve been fighting recreationally for years and can attest to the delirious sense of power that comes from your fist meeting an open chin. That\u2019s what White is selling: the chance to live vicariously through his shredded roster of modern-day gladiators. And in recent years, business has been good: In 2025, White inked a new $7.7 billion deal with the Paramount Skydance Corp., giving a sport that was once deemed too violent for TV a prime-time slot.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn late April, White dropped by New York City for the Rolling Stone Interview. Two nights after we met, he was at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner when a gunman burst into the building. White was captured on camera shortly after, absolutely glowing, saying, \u201cI didn\u2019t get down. It was fucking awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tThat\u2019s who White is, I think. He\u2019s here for the crazy, for the surprising, and most of all for the violent. He wants to build, expand, and conquer. He wants to take it all in and ask, \u201cWhat\u2019s next?\u201d The day that question doesn\u2019t have an answer, White won\u2019t be drawing breath.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>The first time <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> profiled you was in 2008. We wrote: \u201cThe way things are going, Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, may soon be hailed as the greatest sports promoter ever, of all time, bigger even than boxing\u2019s Don King, bigger even than pro wrestling\u2019s Vince McMahon.\u201d Vince might have words about that, but 18 years later, most of it has come true. Did you ever see yourself reaching this point?<\/strong><br \/>Well, thank you, first of all. If you separate me from the sport and the UFC, I always believed the sport could be where we are today. This thing wasn\u2019t allowed on pay-per-view. We spent $10 million to buy our way onto TV. That was to produce <em>The Ultimate Fighter<\/em> and air it on Spike [in 2005]. Our first media-rights deal was $35 million. We go from Spike to Fox for $100 million. We go from Fox to ESPN for $3 billion, and then we go from ESPN to Paramount for $7.7 billion. I mean, we\u2019re everywhere now. We\u2019re going to Azerbaijan again this year. So, the long-winded answer to your question is, I believed that the sport could be where it is today, and I always knew that I was going to be the guy to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>You started out as a boxing guy. What captivated you about MMA?<\/strong><br \/>The first time I had seen it was on pay-per-view in 1993, when the first [UFC event] happened. And then I sort of lost track of it. It wasn\u2019t until me and the Fertitta brothers [Lorenzo and Frank, Las Vegas casino magnates and White\u2019s childhood friends] started taking jujitsu, and we started to meet a lot of the fighters, and they were just so much different than boxers. Came from different places, had different backstories. And then we went to our first UFC event, and we started going, \u201cImagine if they did this\u201d and \u201cimagine if they changed that, this could be big.\u201d That was really how it all started.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>What drew you to fighting?<\/strong><br \/>When I was young, my uncles used to put the fights on ABC\u2019s <em>Wide World of Sports,<\/em> and there was just always this energy and buzz in the house when the fights were on that I became addicted to. We had big football games because we were Patriots fans, but just nothing felt like it felt when it was a fight on. I fell in love with it.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>There\u2019s an energy to combat sports that you don\u2019t get from a lot of other places.<\/strong><br \/>And it wasn\u2019t just boxing matches either. It was, like, Bruce Lee movies, Chuck Norris movies, and all the different martial arts. I was into all different styles of fighting. You know, Instagram is the devil. I\u2019ll lay in bed at night and watch street fights on Instagram till five in the morning. I just like fighting.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>Getting this sport in front of America hasn\u2019t been easy. Was there ever a moment in the early days when you thought, \u201cMaybe this isn\u2019t going to work out\u201d?<\/strong><br \/>The fight business is the hardest business in the world to run, to organize. There\u2019s been plenty of those moments in the early days. When we were trying to secure a TV deal, when we were trying to get back on pay-per-view, when we were going through all the commission stuff for sanctioning, and then the day that Lorenzo [Fertitta, then-CEO of the UFC] called me and said, \u201cI can\u2019t keep doing this. Me and my brother keep putting all this money in. I want you to get out there and see if you can sell this thing.\u201d I started making calls that day. I called him back and said, \u201cYou probably get 6, 7, 8 million bucks for it.\u201d And we were thirty-something million in the hole. And he said, \u201cOK.\u201d We hung up the phone, and the next morning he called me back and literally said, \u201cFuck it. Let\u2019s keep going.\u201d Lorenzo always talks about it. He\u2019s like, \u201cIt\u2019s amazing what a good night\u2019s sleep can do to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>With this big roulette wheel that you\u2019ve been spinning for so many years, when was the moment you felt like you hit?<\/strong><br \/>I remember it like it was yesterday. We financed the $10 million for <em>The Ultimate Fighter<\/em> to go on Spike TV. The ratings on <em>The Ultimate Fighter<\/em> go just like this [mimes a graph going up]. At that time, in the cable-television world, if you had a show that was that successful, it was everywhere \u2014 on buses in New York, billboards. Spike TV? Flatline, nothing [to promote the show]. Halfway through the season, the president of the network gets fired. Nobody\u2019s returning my calls. It was an insane time. When it should have been, \u201cHoly shit, we should be cutting a new deal for the next season of this thing\u201d \u2014 none of that happened. It was the exact opposite.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSo then that night at the Cox Pavilion at UNLV\u2019s campus, the finale fight happens with Forrest Griffin and Stephen Bonnar, and it sounded like a train was going through that place. People were stomping their feet and chanting \u201cone more round,\u201d and we went in and gave them both a contract. And I literally remember that night going, \u201cI don\u2019t give a shit if Spike signs a new deal or doesn\u2019t, this is going to end up somewhere.\u201d And then that night, the guys from Spike took us out in the alley, and we drafted a television deal on a napkin \u2014 literally on a napkin \u2014 sort of the bullet points of what a deal might look like. And then that was it. We were on our way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<!-- disable-pmc_link_tags_to_related_posts-starts --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was this buzz in the house when fights were on that I became addicted to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- disable-pmc_link_tags_to_related_posts-ends --><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<strong>You held some of your first events at Trump\u2019s casinos. What did you think when he told you he was going into politics?<\/strong><br \/>When he first called me [in 2015], he said, \u201cListen, if you don\u2019t want to do this, I completely understand, but I\u2019d be honored if you\u2019d speak for me at the Republican Convention.\u201d Everybody told me not to do it. The two reasons were, number one, you don\u2019t want to get anywhere near politics, and number two, he\u2019s never going to win.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>But you did it. You\u2019ve described that moment to me as really being a turning point, both in your personal relationship with him, but also in his political movement. You\u2019ve become pretty close personal friends since then, right?<\/strong><br \/>We\u2019re really close.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>I have this theory that you\u2019re one of Trump\u2019s only real friends left. I think as his power and position have grown, a lot of the relationships are transactional. People fall in and out of favor, because that\u2019s the world that he\u2019s in. But your relationship throughout has been steady.<\/strong><br \/>I don\u2019t want anything from him. I\u2019m not looking for anything from him. There\u2019s nothing transactional in our relationship. We\u2019re friends. And when we get together, it\u2019s literally no different than any other person in this room when you get together with somebody you\u2019re friends with. You talk about things that friends talk about. I think when he is dealing with shit that I can\u2019t even dream of, when he wants to get away, he comes to a UFC fight. You can tell the difference from when he first gets there to when he leaves at the end of the night, he needed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs human beings, it\u2019s almost necessary to be a fan of something, whether it\u2019s a band, the Boston Celtics, the UFC, to get out one night and just be a fan of something and just not give a shit about anything else that\u2019s going on other than sitting there and enjoying yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAt the end of the day, everybody has to remember Donald Trump is human. And as human beings, we all need that \u2014 everybody\u2019s got a thing. Donald Trump\u2019s thing is the UFC.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Has he ever asked you to take a greater hand in his actual political work \u2014 said, \u201cDana, I need you in D.C. now\u201d?<\/strong><br \/>Never. Never.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>That changed in the 2024 cycle, when you helped engineer a media blitz on podcasts and social media for him. It seemed like you were a little more comfortable utilizing the networks and the audience that you had built to\u2014<\/strong><br \/>I know everybody leans on that one, but I mean, when we bought the company in 2001 and we did the fight at the Trump Taj Mahal [in Atlantic City, New Jersey], the Trump brand was up there [motions above his head], UFC brand down here [motions to his waist] \u2014 he showed up to the first fight of the night and stayed till the last fight. This guy is my really good friend. He has been for a very long time. He loved coming to the UFC before he ran for president. But why would I not make a big deal out of the sitting president of the United States coming to my event?<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>Sure.<\/strong><br \/>If it was Reagan, Obama, Bush \u2014 any of these guys that show up, it\u2019s the president of the United States. You can make anything overly political if you want to, but that is not our relationship. And even when I\u2019ve spoken at these conventions or rallies, you never hear me talk politically. You never hear me say anything left, right, this, that. I\u2019m right down the middle, common sense, that\u2019s me.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=30\">The Murdaugh Case Came Apart Amid a True Crime Frenzy.

We should do a fight at the White House.\u201d And I\u2019m like, \u201cYes, you should do a fight at the White House.\u201d I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ll ever meet anybody more proud of the White House than he is. He absolutely loves that place and he feels like it\u2019s America\u2019s house, and we should do things where more people can come to the White House and be able to experience it.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>The media frenzy around this White House fight has gotten pretty hot. Trump\u2019s overall popularity is at one of its lowest points. The war with Iran has been a low point, and he\u2019s even gotten criticism from some once-reliable backers. Joe Rogan has wondered about the safety and security of going forward with the fight event, given the national context. Was that ever a concern for you?<\/strong><br \/>I [kept fights going] through Covid. Nothing like that ever concerns me. And listen, the world is a very rough place, man. There\u2019s always bad things going on. I own a global business. I have Russians, I have Ukrainians, I have Israelis, I have Pakistanis \u2014 you name it, I have them all on my card. And guess what? For the rest of existence, that stuff\u2019s going to be going on. And when you own a global business, you can\u2019t just bend and break and roll over for every bad thing that happens in the world, because I guarantee you, a lot more shit is going to happen this year, and I\u2019m not going to not run my business because of it. To have the opportunity to fight at the White House \u2014 we\u2019re in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\t[With everything going on,] he probably wishes he didn\u2019t say that to me. But again, we\u2019re in. It\u2019s happening. Everything\u2019s in motion. He\u2019s never said anything to me like that, but this guy\u2019s dealing with shit that people like you and I can\u2019t even imagine and don\u2019t want to. And we don\u2019t get into that kind of stuff.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>What do you talk about?<\/strong><br \/>We definitely don\u2019t talk politics. We talk about everything but. How his family is, what\u2019s been going on, how\u2019s he feeling? I mean, this guy doesn\u2019t sleep. I\u2019m not a big sleeper either, but his level of sleep is inhuman. I don\u2019t even know how he does it, especially at his age.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Has there ever been a moment where something that he said or something he did\u2014\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>Listen, I mean, at one point, did I wish he would stay off Twitter? Yeah. I\u2019m the guy that\u2019s always walking around [defending him], going, \u201cYou don\u2019t understand.\u201d I challenge everybody \u2014 you can be as far left as you could possibly be.

The day that I decide to walk away, that\u2019ll be it.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Do you ever have a voice in your head saying, \u201cAll right, we\u2019ve got the Paramount deal, now we\u2019ve built something that\u2019ll last.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>Oh, hell no. That\u2019s not how it works. I get up every day, and I want to do something. I want to win. I want to break a record. I want to go to the next level every time that I get out of bed.
