Dana White Says Donald Trump, Conor McGregor Received Loudest Ovations Ever

The UFC has no scarcity of star energy at its occasions — out and in of the Octagon — so, who’s gotten the loudest pop from the group?!

Dana White has a solution.

“When you think about fighter walkouts, whenever a fighter walks out to the [Octagon] — I mean, the two biggest that actually shake the arena are President Trump and Conor McGregor, two of the largest battle walkouts ever,” the UFC boss informed Babcock on the TMZ Sports activities TV present (airs nightly on FS1).

After all, UFC 309 goes down Saturday evening at Madison Sq. Backyard in NYC — the primary PPV occasion since Trump defeated Kamala Harris by a landslide final Tuesday — so we requested Dana whether or not DJT could be in the home.

“I think that anything is possible. He’s a big fan. Who knows? He could pop in,” White informed us with a smile on his face.

Dana and Donald go method again.

Within the early days of White’s UFC possession, when states (like New York — which now loves the UFC) and venues alike refused to host MMA fights, Trump provided up his Atlantic Metropolis casinos … at a time when the promotion was struggling to only get by.

When DJT determined to run for president main as much as the 2016 election, DW was proper there by Trump’s facet, talking out early and infrequently on behalf of his shut pal.

In different phrases, the lads share an extremely robust bond … so do not be shocked in any respect if Trump’s first high-profile public look comes at UFC 309.

Try the total interview … DW and MB speak about Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic (largest heavyweight battle ever?), Bones’ future (might this be Jon’s final battle? Is Jones ducking Tom Aspinall?), and rather more … together with why White ought to in all probability simply write Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira a $50K examine proper now.
