Dana White says White House UFC fight night was a success but vows 'never again'

Salon—UFC president Dana White said the fight night hosted at the White House was a success but declared he would never hold another event there, describing the logistics as too difficult to repeat. Left-leaning commentators scrutinized the event, with one outlet suggesting it may have been tied to a crypto promotion rather than a straightforward sports showcase. The New Yorker published a feature on what the unprecedented event said about the Trump White House's approach to entertainment and spectacle.
