UFC president Dana White opened up about the brief chat he had with President Barack Obama during President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> inauguration earlier this year.<\/p>\n

White and Obama were seen talking in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington back in January. But White had never spoken about the interaction until Sunday night\u2019s appearance on “60 Minutes.”<\/p>\n

CBS host Jon Wertheim asked White to respond to fans who have felt that UFC<\/a> has “taken a side” when it came to politics.<\/p>\n

“I am an American citizen. Biden was my president. Trump is my president,” White said. “I was at the inauguration and I was sitting behind all of the ex-presidents and there was this stuff going around like, \u2018Dana\u2019s mad-dogging President Obama.\u2019 President Obama turned around, the only president that did, and shook my hand and said, \u2018Congratulations on all your success.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Thank you very much Mr. President.\u2019<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s what happened. I never talked about that publicly. If President Obama called and said, \u2018Hey, I\u2019d like to come see a fight.\u2019 I\u2019d be like, \u2018Yeah, buy some tickets and good luck\u2019 or whatever? No, the sitting president or the ex-president of the United States wants to come to your event, you treat them with respect.”<\/p>\n

White has been ingrained in the political landscape since he stumped for Trump during his first campaign in 2016. Since then, the UFC boss<\/a> has been seen at the Republican National Convention and other rallies that have featured Trump.<\/p>\n

The president has also been at several UFC fights before, during and after his presidency.<\/p>\n
