UFC CEO Dana White attended Saturday’s White Home Correspondents’ Dinner, the place a gunman appeared to try to kill President Donald Trump.
Thankfully, the gunman didn’t strategy the president or the senior officers and businessmen in attendance, and was arrested a brief distance away. However that did not cease safety guards from storming into the room, securing the realm and escorting the president to security.
Instantly after the incident, White spoke to reporters on the scene and shared his response to the chaos.
It is no exaggeration to say that some folks might be shocked by his response.

“It is beginning to get a bit noisy,” White mentioned. “Tables had been overturned and guys got here operating with weapons and yelled, ‘Get off!’ I did not get off. It was fucking superior. I actually took in each second. It was a fairly loopy and distinctive expertise.
“We had been seated proper in entrance of the desk, proper in entrance of the place the president was,” he added. “Nobody was tackled, however the gamers got here searching for the shooter and he got here in the direction of our desk. I believed the shooter was completed by us or one thing.”
Mr. White seemingly is aware of one thing about President Trump’s in depth safety community. He’ll work intently with the President’s safety group for the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 occasion scheduled for June 14th on the White Home garden. The occasion is anticipated to be essentially the most logistically tough and costly in UFC historical past.
