Former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was shot at by a nearby shooter. The incident, which occurred over the weekend, left many shocked, but UFC CEO Dana White was quick to praise Trump’s resilience and toughness.

Despite rumors circulating that Trump was supposed to attend UFC Denver on the same day, White clarified that this was not the case. In fact, White himself was not present at the event as he was traveling in Italy. However, White did not hold back in expressing his admiration for Trump’s reaction to the assassination attempt.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, White commended Trump, calling him ‘one of the toughest, most resilient human beings’ he has ever met. White emphasized Trump’s response to the situation, highlighting how Trump stood back up after being shot at and encouraged the crowd to continue the fight.

Trump’s connection to the UFC is not new, with the former president showing a long-standing interest in mixed martial arts (MMA). From his involvement with the Affliction promotion to attending various UFC events, Trump has maintained a relationship with the world of MMA. White is set to speak on Trump’s behalf at the Republic National Convention (RNC) later this week.

White shared details of his conversation with Trump following the incident, noting Trump’s remarkable recovery and resilience. Despite any personal opinions about Trump, White asserted that Trump’s toughness in the face of danger is ‘undebatable.’ At almost 80 years old, Trump’s reaction to the assassination attempt left White in awe, as he marveled at Trump’s strength and courage.

The incident has once again brought attention to Trump’s unwavering spirit and resilience, showcasing his ability to remain composed and steadfast even in the face of danger. As the nation continues to process the events of the weekend, Trump’s survival of the assassination attempt stands as a testament to his enduring strength and determination.
