UFC CEO Dana White to speak at RNC

Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) CEO Dana White will address the Republican National Convention next Thursday evening, immediately prior to former President Donald Trump accepting the party nomination for president, the Wall Street Journal reported. 

Slated for July 15-18, the convention will feature an array of speakers, with each day adopting a theme derived from Trump's "Make American Great Again" slogan.

White previously addressed both the 2016 and 2020 conventions, but spoke earlier during the events, according to the Washington Examiner.

Trump attended a UFC competition in Newark, N.J., in June and earned considerable applause as he entered the building alongside White.
