Dana White’s Stance on Socio-Political Matters in the UFC
“The whole Trump thing and all that stuff – I don’t push any type of agenda in our office or whatever. I don’t even say, ‘Hey guys, the primaries are coming up, get out and vote, and all these sh*t.’ If you want to vote, vote. If you don’t who gives a sh*t.”
He continued by highlighting the importance of focusing on UFC-related activities during work hours, without concerning himself with the personal beliefs or lifestyle choices of the fighters.
“I don’t care who the f**k you sleep with, what you identify as, who you pray to [or] any of that sh*t. [or] who you vote for, I don’t care. All I care about for the next eight hours is that you give a sh*t about the UFC and what we got going on.”
