In a candid interview with Piers Morgan, UFC president Dana White expressed his displeasure with former WWE superstar Dave Batista’s recent skit mocking Donald Trump, while also sharing his plans to remain at the helm of the UFC indefinitely.
White, a longtime friend and supporter of Trump, took particular issue with Batista’s portrayal of the former president. “Everybody wants to talk smack… Batista, the old wrestler, did this skit on Trump being weak and all this stuff, that I thought was disgusting and gross,” White stated. “Let me tell you what, Batista and anybody else out there, the way that Trump reacted to that assassination attempt, every man hopes that’s the way you would react… That’s one of the most solid… You wanna talk about who you want to be the president of a country is the way that Trump reacted to that assassination attempt.”
Batista went on a funny rant roasting Trump saying:
‘ Fellas, we gotta talk. A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not. I mean, look at him. He wears more makeup than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby. And the guy’s afraid of birds. Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his real feet hurt so he could dodge the draft. Look at that gut. Like a garbage bag full of buttermilk. He sells imaginary baseball cards pretending to be a cowboy fireman. The guy’s barely strong enough to hold an umbrella. I mean, look how he drinks water. Like a little pink chickadee. He’s got jugs. Big ones. Like Dolly Parton. He cheats at golf. He creeps around beauty pageant dressing rooms. You know that little dance he does? He looks like he’s jacking off a pair of giraffes. He’s moody. He pouts. He throws tantrums. No, get those lights off! He acts like a five-year-old behind the wheel of a truck. He bends over for Putin. He’s cattier on social media than a middle school bean girl. The guy needs help walking downhill. Almost there, Grandma. This November, let’s stop kidding ourselves. Donald Trump is afraid. Of rain. Of dogs. Of windmills. Mural street. And being laughed at. Isn’t it past your jail time? Mostly, he’s terrified that real red-blooded American men will find out that he’s a weak, tubby toddler. Mommy, take me home, Mommy. I want to go home. What’s wrong, tough guy? Did someone grab you by the ? Huh. Why you little bitch? Hey, guys. You can still see the room. Thank you, Dave. You are an American treasure.’
The UFC president went on to discuss Trump’s religious convictions, stating, “The things is with President Trump is, he believes in God and he’s very religious. He believes that to his core, that God has spared his life to be the President and do the things that he’s gonna do over the next four years.”
In the same interview, White addressed his future with the UFC, which he has led since 2001. “I will never retire. Ever,” he declared. “I will keep dogging this out until the day I drop dead. I love it, 100 percent.”
White even showed unexpected respect for Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, despite their well-documented rivalry. “Bob Arum? I hate him, he’s an a**hole, but Bob Arum, the boxing promoter, he’s 94 years old,” White said, acknowledging Arum’s remarkable work ethic even at his advanced age.
Reflecting on his own journey since the UFC’s sale in 2016, White emphasized his continued passion for the business: “When we sold in 2016, 99 percent of the people said that I was going to retire and walk away. I’m not wired like that. I’m still out building new brands and doing shit that I don’t need to be doing. But I do it because I love it.”
