After embracing President-elect Donald Trump, the Ultimate Fighting Championship chief executive said in an interview this week he won’t help future presidential campaigns, stating he “want[s] nothing to do with politics.

UFC 309 saw the return of heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who successfully returned from a 20-month layoff to defend his title with a third-round TKO of Stipe Miocic, who was coming off an even longer layoff of more than three-and-a-half years. The fight headlined the pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Another week, and another UFC rankings update. This time, Jon Jones moves up one spot in the men's pound-for-pound (P4P) rankings, placing him above Alex Pereira and below Islam Makhachev. This is much to the disappointment of UFC CEO Dana White,

Along with the then-Republican candidate’s aggressive new media strategy targeting “bro” podcasters, a strategy which a campaign source dubbed “Trump on steroids” at the time, White was credited with helping Trump court young male voters thanks to the UFC’s fan demographics.

UFC CEO Dana White supported President-elect Donald Trump's campaign, including by speaking at both the RNC and Trump's election victory celebration.
