It seems like everything gives Dana White the creeps lately. A declared supporter and friend of Donald Trump, the UFC boss took the US president-elect's side and sent a message to the haters who say the politician is weak. Among them is former MMA fighter and now actor Dave Bautista.

Dave Bautista is one of the biggest names in action films today. His most famous character is 'Drax the Destroyer' from the films 'Guardians of the Galaxy' e 'Avengers: Infinity War', from the giant 'Marvel'. Known in the struggle as 'Batista', he is one of the many Americans who are against Trump's return to the White House.

Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during his 2024 presidential campaign. After the episode, the then candidate adopted an 'unperturbed' stance until the end of the US elections, which led 'Batista' to create a skit wanting to prove the opposite to voters, showing that, in fact, Trump is a weak man.

However, the fact that Trump remained 'unfazed' by the assassination attempt convinced Dana White that the president-elect is the figure of the 'ultimate American tough guy', which led to harsh criticism from the UFC boss of the 'Batista' parodies.

“Everybody wants to talk nonsense. Batista, the old fighter, did this skit about Trump being weak and all this stuff — which I thought was disgusting and disgusting. Let me tell you something: Batista and anybody else out there, the way Trump reacted to that assassination attempt, every man expects that’s how you would react. You talk about who you want to be the president of a country is the way Trump reacted to that assassination attempt,” Dana said.

The UFC president also said that, despite not considering himself a spiritualist, 'something divine' may have happened for Trump to once again take command of the White House.

“He believes in God and he’s very religious. He believes this deeply, that God spared his life to be president and do the things that he’s going to do for the next four years. [Joe] Rogan and I have talked about this. Rogan and I, I guess you would say, are not spiritualists. If you had to put me on a platform to argue that there wasn’t some kind of divine intervention, I literally have no ammunition to debate that. It’s pretty crazy, it gives me chills,” he concluded.
