UFC chief executive Dana White has turned down US President Donald Trump’s offer to become the next White House Press Secretary, CNN reported on Sunday, citing a source familiar with the matter. The decision came after Trump publicly urged his longtime friend and political ally to take up the role.
Trump made the unusual offer in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, describing White as a “violent Fighter and Warrior” and suggesting that he bring several prominent mixed martial arts champions to the White House briefing room as assistants.
“I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States,” Trump wrote.
