“I’ve had this philosophy for the last five years that traditional media is dead, and it doesn’t hold the influence that it used to hold,” he said, via MMA Fighting. “The two most hated people in this world are the media and politicians. Nobody trusts them. Nobody believes them.

“The true influence right now is with these kids on the internet. They’re called influencers. So, I’ve been creating relationships with these people for the last four or five years. And this election was won on the internet.

“The way Power Slap was built was the way this election was won. The Hispanic vote was incredibly powerful, the male Black vote and the youth.”

White has had Trump’s back during his campaigns in 2016, 2020 and 2024. He spoke at the Republican National Convention.

Trump has appeared at several UFC events over the years. On Saturday night, he received a raucous ovation from the crowd at Madison Square Garden.

He thanked White and UFC fans for their support in social media posts.
