Dana White has been a public supporter of President Donald Trump and was seen with him last year during the U.S. presidential campaign.
During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored a few months earlier in February, White opened up about his feelings towards Trump’s victory of a second term in the White House.
He said: ‘Think about this, winning this election after everything that’s happened over the last few years is an amazing achievement and an incredible comeback story.
‘Think of all the things President Trump had to go through to get back here, all the powerful forces that tried to take him down: the mainstream media, partisan prosecutors, ᴀssᴀssins. It’s absolutely insane what this man has been through. And only President Trump could have fought through all those obstacles, all the attacks and still come out the winner.
‘But you know what? That’s just what he is. This guy is a winner.’
Supportive: However, some user’s welcomed Khloe’s choice
A warm welcome: In the short Instagram clip, Khloe gave him a hug as he joined her for the interview
In 2023, a video went viral that showed White and his wife Anne in a physical altercation at a New Year’s Eve bash in Mexico.
After she slapped him, he could be seen slapping her back in the face, which he later apologized for.
In a statement to TMZ at the time, the businessman said, ‘My wife and I were out Saturday night on New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately that is what happened.
‘I am one of the guys who says there is never, ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman and now here I am on TMZ talking about it. This is one of those situations that is horrible. I am embarrᴀssed. We have three kids and since the video popped up, we have shown the kids and we are more focused on our family right now.
‘People are going to have their opinions on this and people’s opinions would be right, especially in my case. You don’t put your hands on a woman, ever.’
His wife Anne – whom he tied the knot with in 1996 and shares three children with – also broke her silence after the incident. She said: ‘To say this is out of character for him is an understatement – nothing like this has ever happened before.’
‘Unfortunately, we were both drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and things got out of control, on both sides. We’ve talked this through as a family and apologized to each other.’

During Thursday’s episode, Khloe opened up about her decisions regarding parenting and why she doesn’t allow her children to do sleepovers.
She is mom to daughter True, seven, and son Tatum, two, whom she shares with ex Tristan Thompson.
Khloe said: ‘I don’t let my kids sleep anywhere. I’m very strict about it.
‘Times are different, so I won’t let my daughter, or my son, who’s 2½, but they’re not allowed to have sleepovers just because I’m one of those types of… I just – I think too much. I’ve watched too much Dateline.’
