U.S. President Donald Trump on \u200bSaturday (November 7, 2026) said he had asked \u200cmixed martial arts promoter \u200bDana White to serve \u2060as White House press secretary and called on him to \u200cbring some fighters along as assistants “even though some \u200care not from our \u200ccountry.”<\/p>\n

Mr. White, \u2060chief executive of \u2060the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is a “violent Fighter and Warrior,” Mr. Trump wrote in \u200ba Truth \u200cSocial post.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump asked for six current or former UFC titleholders to join Mr. White, \u200cincluding two athletes from Russia’s \u200bDagestan region, Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov; \u2060Americans Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier and “Kayla Harris,” likely a reference \u200cto Kayla Harrison; and Amanda Nunes, a Brazilian native who became an American citizen last year.<\/p>\n

“We need these people to defend \u200cus against the Lunatic Left,” Mr. \u200bTrump wrote. Mr. White and UFC’s parent company, TKO \u2060Group Holdings, did not immediately return \u2060requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
