UFC President Dana White made it clear in a recent podcast interview, he has no hopes of becoming a political figure or running to president in the future.

White, who has very close ties with President Donald Trump, explained on “What is your story? With Steph McMahon” why he has no plans to enter this arena. He cited the media’s treatment of Trump when he decided to go out of the celebrity sphere into the political game.

“The biggest thing for me with Trump is that it is fascinating how this guy, who is incredibly famous and watched as this businessman, had his show in all these years, loved by everyone – on both sides – and when he first enters politics, they find out how to make half the country hate him,” White said. “They released this tale of him that people actually think this guy is a racist piece of —- Fascist, you know, scumbag, which is the longest thing from the truth.

“So yeah, I don’t want anything to do with politics.”

White has been by Trump’s side since he ran to President in 2015. He spoke at several Republican national conventions in support of Trump and has hosted the president several times at UFC events.

The latest was UFC 314, where the president received a violent ovation.

“There’s no way in hell,” White said of any potential presidential driving or getting into politics.

“I have an awesome life. I love it, I do. I love the people I do it with. I get up every day and I can’t wait to get to work. I’m there early. I’m there late. And politics just aren’t for me.”
