UFC president and CEO Dana White has turned down a job offer from the White House, according to a report from AFP. The 57-year-old, a long-time friend of former President Donald Trump, previously helped host a major UFC event on the White House lawn earlier this year.
White's relationship with Trump dates back years, and his involvement in bringing UFC to the presidential residence highlighted the close ties between the mixed martial arts organization and the former administration. The specific role offered was not disclosed in the report.
The news was reported by Danny Kemp of AFP on November 10, 2026.
