Dana White talks White House trip, Alexander Gustafsson injury, Ben Askren and more

The images went viral over social media: Dana White visiting the White House, where Colby Covington lived up to his promise of visiting the President with his UFC belt in tow.

On the recent edition of the “Unfiltered” podcast, the UFC president gave his version of the story of his trip to Washington D.C., which included Covington’s Oval Office visit and a taping for an upcoming documentary.

“President Trump has always been great to me,” White said. “He’s always, he’s a big fan of the UFC. I brought him in and they talked, they took pictures, he signed his hat for him, and it was fun.
