Dana White doesn’t seem interested in Donald Trump’s migrant fight league.

Over the weekend, during a rally, Trump revealed that he had told White about starting up a fighting league filled with migrants.

“I said, ‘Dana (White) I have an idea. Why don’t you set up a migrant league of fighters and have your regular league fighters,” Trump said, “and then you have the champion of your league — these are the greatest fighters in the world — fight the champion of the migrants.’

“I think the migrant guy might win,” Trump noted that White “didn’t like that idea too much.”

“But actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever had,”

While speaking with the media after the UFC Saudi Arabia event, White confirmed that Trump had told him about the idea of the migrant fighting league but insisted that it was just a “joke.”

“It was a joke, I saw everyone going crazy online, but yeah he did say it.”
