Dana White Refuses to Be Trump's Press Secretary The head of the UFC turned down an offer to head the White House press service, CNN reports, citing a source. At the same time, the Washington Post writes that Trump was just joking. A day earlier, the US president invited White to the position and took six UFC fighters as assistants, including Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhchev. White himself plans to meet with Trump on November 9.
