Dana White won the hearts of many ‘MAGA’ fans from her front-row seat at President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.
The UFC president took pride of place among the crowd of tech titans and media moguls who descended on Washington DC to witness Trump’s second inauguration as the 47th president of the United States.
The 55-year-old was sitting in the row behind former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State and Trump’s former political nemesis Hillary Clinton and former first lady Laura Bush during the ceremony. inside the Capitol. Building.
Many were surprised by White’s position of honor, directly behind former President Bush and his wife Laura. However, the MMA boss drove others crazy with his reaction to Obama’s arrival.
When the 44th president, who arrived at the ceremony without his wife Michelle Obama after she decided to snub the inauguration, entered the Capitol Rotunda, he greeted the Bushes directly in front of White.
And some on social media claimed that White, an outspoken supporter of the new Commander in Chief, cast a dirty look in Obama’s direction.

Social media users claimed that the UFC CEO gave former President Barack Obama a murderous look
“Dana White gives President Obama a sideways glance,” one social media user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, along with a laughing emoji.
“Dana White’s facial reactions to Hillary and Obama are hilarious lol,” added another, also referring to former Secretary of State and former First Lady Hillary Clinton.
“It’s cool to see Dana White giving the stink eye to Clinton, Bush and Obama sitting right in front of him,” a third said of the trio of former presidents sitting across from the UFC boss.
“Dana White is ready to fight Barack Obama,” another wrote, apparently referring to White’s cageside experience.
One user echoed the sentiment, adding: “Looks like UFC’s Dana White would love to invite Barry Obama to the octagon for a friendly cage fight.”
Some social media users were big fans of the seating arrangement, as one posted: ‘Seeing Dana White look at Obama right behind him is epic!’
“Seeing Dana White’s face and eyes while standing behind Bush and Obama is priceless,” another agreed.
“Dana White, behind Obama, the Bushes and the Clintons, is pursuing them furiously,” one repeated.

“I love the look Dana White gave Obama,” one user wrote, followed by a loud laugh, before another chimed in and said, “I did appreciate the look Dana White gave Obama, though!”
White and Trump’s mutual affection is no secret. Trump has tapped the president and CEO of the UFC to speak for him at the last three Republican National Conventions, leading many to question whether he will play a larger role in the White House at some point.
But while White featured prominently during Monday’s ceremony, the MMA promoter has consistently downplayed speculation of an additional role within politics with a role in Trump’s cabinet.
“Donald Trump is one of my very good friends,” White told Sports Business Journal through a spokesperson. ‘He did a great job in his last term as president and I know he will do even better in the next four years. I have no personal political aspirations.
The night before the swearing-in ceremony inside the nation’s capital, White, along with UFC lead commentator Joe Rogan, was an honored guest at the festivities leading up to Trump’s inauguration on Sunday.
The country’s new Commander in Chief was photographed on White’s Instagram page alongside Rogan and the MMA promoter.





Some users were big fans of the seating arrangement of White, an avid Trump supporter.
The three were seen wearing tuxedos at the black-tie event, which is a slight departure from earlier in the day, when White spoke at Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again Victory Rally’ at the Capital One Arena.
“Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon,” the longtime Trump friend and supporter began. ‘I am honored to be here to celebrate President Trump’s historic victory. He not only won these elections. He won it in dominant fashion with a record number of Americans from all walks of life.
White focused the first part of his speech on Trump’s 312-226 electoral college victory over Kamala Harris and his 1.5 percent lead in the popular vote.
“Not only did he win the electoral college by 86 points, but President Trump was the first Republican candidate in 20 years to win the popular vote,” White continued. ‘He also made huge gains among traditional Democratic voters by increasing his support among Latino, Asian American, Black and young voters.
‘So what does that tell us?’ White asked, rhetorically. ‘Democracy is alive and well in this country. And the people have spoken loud and clear: America wants President Trump back in the White House.”
White also described Trump as a hero for overcoming the media, the legal system and even an assassin’s bullet during his campaign.
“Think about this: Winning this election after everything that’s happened in the last few years is an amazing accomplishment and an incredible comeback story,” White said. ‘Think of all the things President Trump had to go through to get back here, all the powerful forces that tried to bring him down: the mainstream media, partisan prosecutors, assassins.
“It is absolutely crazy what this man has gone through. And only President Trump could have overcome all those obstacles, all the attacks and still come out the winner.

A day before Monday’s closed-door ceremony in Washington, DC, Trump was photographed with White and Joe Rogan.
‘But you know what?’ White continued. ‘That’s exactly what he is. This guy is a winner.
‘I say this all the time: he is the toughest, most resilient person I have ever met. And nothing was going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves. He embodies what it means to be an American. We are the toughest and most resilient people on the planet. And nothing can stop us when we come together.”
White ended the speech by encouraging Trump’s critics to support the incoming president.
“The destiny of this country is tied to the destiny of the president, so if you love America, you should want the president of the United States to succeed,” he said. “If it strengthens our economy, resolves conflicts around the world and makes our streets safe again, we will all win.”
