CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White has made a shocking statement about his dear friend and former US president Donald Trump. 

While speaking in an interview with Fox News Saturday night, Dana White praised his friend and said that Donald Trump has the heart of the greatest fighter of all time.

Responding to questions about how the 77-year-old White added that Trump is "number one".

The UFC President said: "Number one. Take any of the greatest fighters of all-time, Trump is number one. The most resilient human being that I’ve ever met in my life."

Responding further, 54-year-old White also added, praising his friend’s persistence: "Why keep doing this? You know, you’ve got money. You’ve got a great life … Why keep doing this? And the one thing that I can tell you — and this is a fact — this guy loves this country, right? And he loves all Americans, regardless of what color, religion or whatever it is."

"He’s not a racist. He’s a good human being, and he loves America, and he cares about this country. Period. End of story," Donald Trump’s pal said.

The former president has been friends with the UFC President since decades when Trump shows up occasionally to see fights. 

The business mogul even appeared just a day after his conviction in a hush money trial last week where a 12-member jury found him guilty in all 34 counts of felonies.
