The head of the UFC called Trump's offer to become a press secretary an amazing experience.

UFC chief Dana White spoke about the unusual 48 hours after US President Donald Trump's offer to take over the post of White House press secretary. He announced this on November 14 in an interview with the president's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, for the My View program on Fox News.

"It was incredible. What an amazing experience. Just as I was driving through the gates of the White House, his assistant called and said, "We'll take you straight to the press room—he wants to see you." <... > It was a completely unusual and crazy 48 hours for me," White recalls.

At the same time, the head of the UFC himself admitted to a lack of political ambitions. The appointment did not take place in the end. White explained that one of the reasons for his meeting with the American leader was the signing of a Topps collector's card dedicated to the UFC Freedom 250 tournament on the south lawn of the White House.
