When Donald Trump celebrated his imminent return to the White House on election night in November 2024, a parade of high-profile supporters joined him on stage. They included Dana White, the president and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the multi-billion dollar mixed martial arts organization, which will host a fight on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14. In this episode of NPR’s Newsmakers, White sat down with Steve Inskeep to discuss the growth and success of UFC, political polarization and masculinity in the Trump era.
