\n

Political heavyweight Dana White, whose endorsement of President Donald Trump was instrumental in his 2024 victory, is now hinting that he may jump back into presidential politics in 2028 because he has “become really close” with Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This comes as White\u2019s UFC announced a rare “sports diplomacy” partnership with the State Department<\/a> this week. White and Rubio signed a memorandum of understanding establishing the partnership last month, according to a UFC statement. The league said that as part of the agreement, UFC athletes and coaches will serve as “sports ambassadors” for young athletes around the world through the State Department\u2019s Sports Envoy Program.<\/p>\n

White was explicitly asked by OutKick\u2019s Tomi Lahren, whether there are any leaders he is looking at for 2028, to which he responded, “It\u2019s funny, As I was, leading up to the White House fight, doing all this media, you know, a lot of the left media was saying to me, \u2018So, you\u2019re out of politics after this, right?\u2019 And I can\u2019t remember who it was that I said it to but \u2026 I said, \u2018I\u2019ve become really close to Rubio.\u2019 We\u2019ve become really close.”<\/p>\n

“People are asking me if I\u2019m going to get out of politics when the president leaves and I just said, \u2018I\u2019ve become very close to Rubio.\u2019 He and I have become friends,” he emphasized.<\/p>\n

White said that Rubio “is a great guy, I like him,” adding, “He\u2019s smart, I like the way he handles himself.”<\/p>\n

He also said, “I\u2019ve met his sons, and I like his kids and, you know, so, never say never.”<\/p>\n

Pressed on whether Rubio is his official pick to succeed Trump as president<\/a>, White clarified, “I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m picking.” He noted that he also likes Vice President JD Vance<\/a>, who, alongside Rubio, is a rumored 2028 presidential frontrunner.<\/p>\n

“JD is a great guy too,” said White, adding, “It\u2019s a tricky situation, and I don\u2019t know enough about politics to even comment on that, but, yeah, I don\u2019t know, but it\u2019s not a bad thing to have two strong candidates.”<\/p>\n

Rubio and Vance are the two Republicans most discussed as possible successors to Trump. While Rubio ran for president in 2016, he has expressed support for Vance, calling him a “close friend” and saying the vice president “would be a great nominee if he decides he wants to do that.”<\/p>\n

Though White stopped short of issuing a full-throated endorsement of Rubio, his partnership with the State Department through UFC underscores the high regard he appears to have for the secretary.<\/p>\n

This is the first time the UFC has entered into such a partnership with the State Department. The NFL, which entered into a similar agreement in January, is the only other major sports organization to have signed such a formal agreement with the department.<\/p>\n

UFC Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Epstein said the league is “thrilled” about the partnership. He said it would allow the State Department and UFC to “work together to build bridges through community engagement.”<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to join this program, led by Secretary Rubio, as UFC is a truly global organization with athletes representing 75 countries. We can’t wait to get started later this year,” said Epstein.<\/p>\n

In turn, Rubio spoke very highly of the UFC, saying it “has become a global phenomenon by embracing values that resonate far beyond the Octagon: excellence, discipline, opportunity, and meritocracy.”<\/p>\n

The secretary said the State Department is “proud” to launch the sports diplomacy partnership with UFC and to “continue growing the sport of MMA.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
