UFC president Dana White has frequently been a supporter for former President Donald Trump – and has defended the 45th president even to the sponsors of his MMA promotion.<\/p>\n
Speaking on comedian Theo Von’s podcast, ‘This Past Weekend’, White revealed that he stood his ground when it came to supporting the former President on his social media accounts.<\/p>\n
White said, ‘I posted a video for Trump. Right? On my personal social media, and one of our big sponsors called and said, “Take that down.”<\/p>\n
‘Know what I said? “Go f**k yourself.” You vote for whoever you wanna vote for, and I’ll vote for whoever I want to vote for.’ That’s how this works.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t even care who you vote for. It’s none of my f***ing business. But f*** you. Don’t ever f***ing call me and tell me who to vote for!’<\/p>\n
