The unexpected happened during what seemed like a routine podcast recording. UFC CEO Dana White was settling into his conversation with former Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler for a recent podcast when his phone suddenly rang, interrupting the flow of their discussion.
During the episode, Cutler said: “I’m kind of a gym nerd so I’ve been you know.” White then chimes in, saying: “I am too..” However, he’s cut short due to Trump calling him.
“Mr. President, how are you, sir? Yeah, I can hear you perfect.” White said, his surprise evident as he realised who was calling.
After the call, White joins the podcast host, saying: “Of course, right when we start the f**king podcast.”
The genuine surprise in White’s voice was unmistakable as he attempted to manage the situation. The podcast hosts then say, “It’s okay, we’re good, we’re good to go. You can just say what just happened, that was pretty cool.
The relationship between Trump and White has evolved significantly over recent years, transforming from casual acquaintance into what appears to be a genuine business partnership. Currently, both men are reportedly engaged in detailed discussions about an unprecedented UFC event that would take place at the White House.
This potential groundbreaking card has generated considerable excitement throughout the mixed martial arts community, with several high-profile athletes expressing strong interest in participating.
Notable MMA icons including Jon Jones and Conor McGregor have reportedly shown enthusiasm for the proposed event. Both champions have recently re-entered the official testing protocols, suggesting serious consideration of their involvement.
