Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO, Dana White, lobbied hard to help longtime friend and UFC supporter, Donald Trump, win the presidential election when voters returned to the polls just a few weeks back.

Considering some of Trump's wacky cabinet selections, like WWE co-founder Linda McMahon, it was not unreasonable to think White would find real estate somewhere in the political landscape over the next four years.

"I'm in the fight business, which is the dirtiest, nastiest business," White told Sports Business Journal. "We all hate each other and we're all fighting everyday. There is nothing dirtier than politics. It's disgusting. It's gross. I want nothing to do with it."

Apparently he wanted something to do with it long enough to get Trump back in office, which led to subsequent rumors of a future in politics. That said, White insists he has "no personal political aspirations" after the 2024 election.
