Dana White doesn’t care what people think of him supporting Donald Trump ahead of the US election this November.

For years now, White and Trump have been friends and on Thursday, the UFC president will speak at the Republican National Convention. Although politics is something many can’t agree on, Dana White doesn’t care about any of the backlash he is getting for supporting Trump and speaking at the convention.

“That sh*t doesn’t bother me,” White told reporters, including MMA Junkie, on Tuesday night in Las Vegas (via MMAJunkie). “Listen, this is America. Everybody has their own opinions and their own choices. I know that sometimes people go after you because of whatever, but everybody knows me. Everybody knows what I’m about, and you know. I don’t know. Talk to me after the speech.”

Donald Trump allowed the UFC to host events at his casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey when not many places would allow UFC events. From then on, he has been a supporter of the mixed martial artist promotion and was part of the opening package of the UFC 249 pay-per-view and was at UFC 244 in New York City.

Given their friendship was long before Trump was a politician, Dana White doesn’t care what people think of him speaking at the convention.

“I don’t give a sh*t. I don’t care what people think of me or what they think,” White said. “The people that know me know who I am and know what I’m about. Other than that, I (couldn’t) care less. There’s tons of guys that hate Trump, whether it’s celebrities or whatever, and I’m cool with all of them. We’re all cool. Like I said, the people who know me, know me, and the people who don’t all judge me anyways. It doesn’t matter to me. I (couldn’t) care less.”

According to the Washington Post, White will be speaking on Thursday, which is the final day of the convention. White also spoke at the Republican convention in 2016 backing Trump as well.

Dana White and Donald Trump have been friends for quite some time. Trump allowed the UFC to host events inside the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City in the early days of the promotion. The President also attended UFC 244 last November at the Madison Square Garden.

Trump and White also worked together to arrange Colby Covington meet the President following him winning the interim title in August of 2018.

White also spoke highly of Trump for what he did for the UFC at the 2016 convention and explained why he backed him.

“Donald championed the UFC before it was popular, before it grew into a successful business and I will always be grateful—so grateful—to him for standing with us in those early days,” White said at the 2016 Convention (h/t MMA Mania). “So tonight, I stand with Donald Trump.”

The Republican National Convention will feature appearances from the likes of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and Mark and Patricia McCloskey.
