Turin, 8 Nov. (LaPresse) – Dana White, president and chief executive of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), is reported to have turned down an unusual offer from US President Donald Trump to become a White House spokesperson. This was reported by CNN, citing a source close to the matter. White sidestepped a question about the offer during a press conference in London at an event, merely stating that he would be flying to Washington on Monday to meet Trump. When asked how he would balance the new role with the positions he already holds in the world of combat sports, the UFC CEO initially appeared confused, before replying: “Yes, I’ve already got plenty of roles.” White chose not to reveal what discussions he had had with Trump, adding: “I’m sure I’ll have more to say after that meeting.”
